Figure 1.
Time dependent changes in left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV) (left y-axis; panel A) and left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV) (right y-axis; panel A); in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (left y-axis; panel B) and mean mid wall circumferential strain (right y-axis; panel B). The mean ± the standard error are shown. There was a significant increase in LVESV and mean mid-wall circumferential strain while at the same time a decrease in LVEF from baseline to 6 months after administration of low to moderate doses of anthracycline-based chemotherapy.
