Baseline Three-Dimensional Speckle-Tracking Echocardiographic Parameters
Baseline echocardiographic findings are listed in table 1. The mean LVEF of the patients before chemotherapy was 59.4±4.9% in those who did not develop CAE and 60.3±5.7% in those who did (p=0.527). Left ventricular volume and structure parameters were similar between the CAE and no CAE group. Left ventricular EF and strain parameters (GLS and GCS) were not significantly different between the two groups. The right ventricular parameters RVESV was statistically significant between the two groups (P=0.017).
