Abstract Background Chemotherapy-associated cardiomyopathy is a well-known cardiotoxicity of contemporary cancer treatment. As cancer outcomes improve, cardiovascular disease has become a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors. The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of CMR in the detection of early cardiotoxic changes and in the identification of patients at risk of developing CTRCD. Patients and methods Fifty patients diagnosed breast cancer examined by echocardiography and cardiac MRI before the start of chemotherapeutic regimen followed by 2 and 4 months post-chemotherapy. Results By echocardiography, all measures were within normal range at the start and at the first follow-up. Twenty (40%) patients show decreased LVEF at second follow-up reaching up to 50% with milder affection of the other parameters. CMR examination shows decreased LVF at second and third follow-up (p = 0.005). There was significant elevation of T2 value for 10 patients at first follow-up (p value 0.04) and for 22 patients at second follow-up (p value 0.01) in correlation with baseline. The T1 mapping and ECV showed elevation at first and second follow-up as compared to baseline (p = |
