Comparison of 2D echocardiographic parameters during chemotherapy.
| Variable | Post-chemotherapy (n = 46) | Baseline (n = 46) | Mean Change | Mean % Change | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2D EF (%) | 62.41 ± 5.28 | 62.83 ± 5.23 | −0.42 | −0.67% | 0.176 |
| 2D EDV (ml) | 79.09 ± 13.09 | 79.59 ± 13.50 | −0.50 | −0.63% | 0.531 |
| 2D ESV (ml) | 30.30 ± 8.66 | 30.28 ± 8.94 | −0.02 | −0.07% | 0.966 |
| 2D GLS (%) | −13.90 ± 3.02 | −17.02 ± 2.46 | −3.12 | −18.33% | <0.001 |
EF – ejection fraction; EDV – end-diastolic volume; ESV – end-systolic volume; GLS – global longitudinal strain.
