Summary:Abstract Objectives This study sought to determine the relationships between echocardiography-derived measures of myocardial mechanics and cancer therapeutics–related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). Background Doxorubicin and trastuzumab are highly effective breast cancer therapies, but have a substantial risk of CTRCD. There is a critical need for the early detection of patients at increased risk of toxicity. Methods We performed a prospective, longitudinal cohort study of breast cancer participants undergoing doxorubicin and/or trastuzumab therapy. Echocardiography was performed prior to therapy initiation (baseline) and at standardized follow-up intervals during and after completion of therapy. Ejection fraction (EF), strain, strain rate, and ventricular-arterial coupling (effective arterial elastance [Ea]/end-systolic elastance [Eessb ]) were quantitated. CTRCD was defined as a ≥10% reduction in EF from baseline to
