KEYWORDS
LVEF; cancer therapy-related cardiotoxicity; global longitudinal strain; early detection; treatment; prevention
PURPOSE OF REVIEW - We aim to summarize the utility of strain in monitoring the effects of cancer therapy-related cardiotoxicity (CTRC) on the development of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction.
