2D and 3D strain for detection of subclinical anthracycline cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients: a balance with feasibility

Abstract

Our study demonstrates potential superiority but also suboptimal feasibility of 3D EF and 3D strain in diagnosing subclinical ANT cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients. 2D GLS is superior to standard echo and presents a good feasibility. E/e' ratio also offers advantages in revealing cardiotoxicity.
