| Secondary Objective: Evaluate the predictive significance of early cardiac damage found to TDI (demonstrating a correlation between heart damage and possible early onset of clinically significant cardiac damage in patients in follow-up);Primary end point(s): identify the changes of cardiac parameters (TDI)), in particular, and SR Strain, and laboratory abnormalities predictive of cardiac damage to TDI.;Main Objective: Evaluate the early cardiac damage induced by Trastuzumab TDI technique in patients with metastatic breast HER-2 positive. - Analyze the correlation between the alterations observed instrumental to TDI, and changes in circulating levels of biochemical markers of cardiac damage and parameters of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress - | — |
