P-values are based on the Wald test.

All models were adjusted for 2D LVEF or E/e’ (depending upon the outcome of interest) at baseline, age, BMI, heart rate (time-varying), systolic blood pressure (time-varying), and time since baseline (modeled non-parametrically using cubic splines).

All echocardiographic parameters were standardized based on the interquartile range at the post-anthracycline visit. An example of the interpretation is noted in Table 2.

3D indicates three-dimensional; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; GCS, global circumferential strain; and GLS, global longitudinal strain.
