| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Up to 10 years after treatment.;Secondary end point(s): 1. Time-to-development of clinical or subclinical cardiotoxicity 2. Severity of clinical or subclinical cardiotoxicity, over time. 3.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To investigate the cumulative incidence of cardiotoxic events in female breast cancer patients within and between two groups: Standard oncological follow-up and care vs. Standard oncological follow-up and care + subclinical cardiotoxicity surveillance and treatment, before start of chemotherapy, during treatment and at 1, 5, and 10 years after the completion of chemotherapy.;Secondary Objective: • To assess the association between standard cardiac risk factors, biomarkers and parameters of echocardiography, electrocardiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, (predictors) and subsequent occurrence of clinical or subclinical cardiotoxicity (outcome) within and between-groups, over time • To determine how a diagnosis of breast cancer and the development of cardiotoxicity influences women’s quality of life.;Primary end point(s): Frequency of clinical or subclinical cardiotoxicity as assessed by Echocardography or ECG, over time. Clinical and subclinical cardiotoxicity will be defined by cardiologist at routine practice using the current guidelines and protocol.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 year, 5 years and 10 years after treatment. | — |
