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).
