Abstract

Anthracyclines are associated with cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). The identification of CTRCD currently uses a change in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Myocardial damage associated with anthracyclines include myocardial inflammation and oedema, which can be assessed using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) relaxometry techniques, T1 and T2 mapping and extracellular volume (ECV) fraction.
