Monitoring algorithm in patients receiving drugs at risk of heart failure. Modified from [4]. 3D 3-dimensional, CTRCD cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction, CVRFs cardiovascular risk factors, GLS global longitudinal strain, LVEF left ventricular ejection fraction, NT-proBNP N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide, TTE transthoracic echocardiography. Ideally, a specialist cardio-onco-hematology clinic. b Reevaluation of LVEF is recommended before treatment completion if the cumulative dose exceeds 240 mg/m2. In these patients, the LVEF should be regularly monitored until the end of treatment. c In patients with low cardiovascular risk and without history of cardiotoxic treatment, determination of troponin levels before each cycle reduces the number of echocardiograms required and limits their use to symptomatic patients or those with troponin elevation
