Trastuzumab-induced cardiac dysfunction may be driven by altered cellular metabolic pathways in cardiomyocytes, suggesting a potential therapeutic target.
Our results indicate that alterations in cellular metabolic pathways in cardiomyocytes could be a key mechanism underlying the development of cardiac dysfunction following trastuzumab therapy; therefore, targeting the altered metabolism may be a promising therapeutic approach for trastuzumab-induced cardiac dysfunction.
