Conditions

Condition 1: Breast cancer. Condition 2: drug-induced cardiomyopathy. Malignant neoplasm of breast cardiomyopathy due to drug and external agent

Interventions

Intervention 1: Intervention group: A group in which patients receive melatonin drug produced by Jalinous at a dose of 10 mg once in the evening along with chemotherapy. The patient will receive this

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
LVEF (Left ventricular ejection fraction) : The left ventricular drain fraction or the amount of blood pumped from the left ventricle with each contraction. Timepoint: Once at the beginning and once a week after the last chemotherapy session. Method of measurement: Using echocardiography performed by a cardiologist.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
GLS (Global longitudinal strain): A sensitive criterion used by echocardiography to measure myocardial deformity and left ventricular contractile strength and can aid in the early diagnosis of cardiotoxicity. A decrease of more than 15% compared to the beginning or an absolute value of -19% after the start of anthracyclines is associated with a significant increase in the risk of future LVEF reduction. Timepoint: At the beginning and one week after the last chemotherapy session. Method of measurement: Echocardiography by a cardiologist.;Troponin I: One of the three types of troponin present in the body that is more specific to the myocardium of the heart and as a marker of the heart, can help diagnose myocardial damage. This enzyme increases within a few hours after heart damage and can last for a long time. Remain in my head for 10-14 days. Timepoint: Once at the beginning and twice at one week after the second and last session of chemotherapy. Method of measurement: Blood sampling and blood level measurement by laboratory.;CK-MB: Creatine kinase and its MB isoenzyme are among the serological tests used to diagnose heart damage. This biomarker rises within the first 4 to 6 hours after heart injury and returns to baseline after 36 to 48 hours. Timepoint: Once at the beginning and twice at one week after the second and last session of chemotherapy. Method of measurement: Blood sampling and blood level measurement by laboratory.;PSQI Score: The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Questionnaire examines people's attitudes about sleep quality over the past four weeks. It has 7 components and each component gets a score from zero to three. The overall score is from zero to 21 and is obtained from the sum of the scores of the components. An overall score of 5 or higher indicates poor sleep quality. Timepoint: At the beginning, a month later and at the end of chemotherapy. Method of measurement: Using the PSQI questionnaire.;ISI (Insomnia severity index) score: The index indica
