Derangements in Coronary Calcium Score and Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain in Patients Post Left Breast Radiotherapy
[post]
2020
unpublished
Radiotherapy is a common treatment for breast cancer, with unintended long-term CV consequences; and no consensus on adequate CV screening methods to prevent future events. We aimed to assess the use of coronary artery calcium (CAC) and left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) to identify those at risk for CVD due to radiotherapy.
