Why the study?
The study evaluated the significance of monitoring hs-cTnI for predicting anthracycline-induced LV dysfunction in breast cancer patients with moderate and low cardiotoxicity risk.
Does monitoring high-sensitivity troponin I predict anthracycline-induced left ventricular dysfunction in breast cancer patients with low to moderate risk of cardiotoxicity?
Population
49 breast cancer patients aged 50±10 years receiving doxorubicin-based chemotherapy
Comparison
Monitoring hs-cTnI before and during anthracycline chemotherapy
Follow-up
12 months after the end of anthracycline therapy

hs-cTnI before and after third anthracycline course was associated with cardiotoxicity; leaves open whether monitoring improves outcomes in low-moderate risk patients.
Does monitoring high-sensitivity troponin I predict anthracycline-induced left ventricular dysfunction in breast cancer patients with low to moderate risk of cardiotoxicity?
Monitoring high-sensitivity troponin I before and during anthracycline therapy predicts the development of left ventricular dysfunction even in breast cancer patients with low to moderate baseline risk.
