Echocardiographic signs of right ventricle changes after Trastuzumab treatment in breast cancer patients with erb-2 overexpression.

Objective: Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction after trastuzumab treatment in erb-2 breast cancer cases has been fully investigated. However, there is not enough data about the effect of trastuzumab treatment on right ventricular (RV) functions. This study is designed to evaluate the right heart changes by performing echocardiography after trastuzumab treatment in patients with erb-2 breast cancer.
