cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy is defined as a decrease in the left ventricular ejection fraction by echocardiography of greater than 10 percentage points, to a value \< 53% (normal reference value for 2D echocardiography).
Time frame: 12 months after completion of chemotherapy
Change in CT-based left ventricular strain parameters
Change in CT-based left ventricular strain parameters before and after the chemotherapy
Time frame: 12 months after completion of chemotherapy
Change in left ventricular global longitudinal strain based on echocardiography
Change in left ventricular global longitudinal strain between baseline and post-chemotherapy.
Time frame: 12 months after completion of chemotherapy
Change in echocardiographic left ventricular ejection fraction
left ventricular ejection fraction change between baseline and post-chemotherapy.
Time frame: 12 months after completion of chemotherapy
