Key result
Multiparametric cardiac MRI was extensively used in the pre-treatment and post-treatment follow-up of a patient who developed cardiotoxicity after postoperative chemotherapy for primary cardiac angiosarcoma.
Why the study?
Chemotherapy can lead to cardiotoxicity as a serious complication, and the role of multiparametric cardiac MRI in pre- and post-treatment follow-up of cardiac tumours needed demonstration.
Can multiparametric cardiac MRI effectively monitor cardiotoxicity after postoperative chemotherapy for primary cardiac angiosarcoma?

Can multiparametric cardiac MRI effectively monitor cardiotoxicity after postoperative chemotherapy for primary cardiac angiosarcoma?
Multiparametric cardiac MRI is a valuable imaging modality for monitoring chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity in patients treated for cardiac tumors.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May guide cardiotoxicity monitoring after chemotherapy for cardiac angiosarcoma; leaves open prospective validation.
Early administration of adjuvant chemotherapy for tumour patients has a positive impact on patients' quality of survival and may improve long-term outcomes.However, chemotherapy also results in a variety of side-effects, of which cardiotoxicity is the most serious complication.We report a case of cardiotoxicity after postoperative chemotherapy for primary cardiac angiosarcoma.In the process of tumour treatment, attention should not be paid to the effect of tumour treatment only but also to the damage of chemotherapy drugs on the heart.In addition, this case also demonstrates the extensive use of multiparametric cardiac MRI in pre-treatment and post-treatment follow-up of cardiac tumours.

A 2024 study conducted a case report in Primary cardiac angiosarcoma (n=1). Postoperative chemotherapy was evaluated on Cardiotoxicity. Multiparametric cardiac MRI was extensively used in the pre-treatment and post-treatment follow-up of a patient who developed cardiotoxicity after postoperative chemotherapy for primary cardiac angiosarcoma.
