Cardiac Function After Cardiotoxic Treatments for Childhood Cancer—Left Ventricular Longitudinal Strain in Screening

Cardiac Function After Cardiotoxic Treatments for Childhood Cancer—Left Ventricular Longitudinal Strain in Screening

Background: The majority of childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) have been exposed to cardiotoxic treatments and often present with modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. Our aim was to evaluate the value of left ventricular (LV) longitudinal strain for increasing the sensitivity of cardiac dysfunctio...
