Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time 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.;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. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 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.;NT-proBNP: It is one of the types of natriuretic peptides that indicates the filling pressure inside the heart and the stress of the walls of the ventricles, which is used to diagnose heart failure. 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. | — |
