Comparison of echocardiographic and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging measurements of systolic function during breast cancer therapy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To compare echocardiographic and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) measurements of global longitudinal strain (GLS) and global mitral annular plane displacement in women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. The study focused on assessing the mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) in echocardiography (ECHO) and atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) in CMR as parameters for global mitral annular plane displacement.

Material and method

Consecutive breast cancer patients (n = 16) were evaluated with ECHO and CMR before, during and after chemotherapy. Echocardiographic GLS was analyzed using two different software programs (TomTec and QLab). Non-parametric Wilcoxon's signed-rank test, Bland-Altman plots and Friedman's test were used for the
