Strain measurements are shown in absolute values. Pa, P for each group at different time points; Pb, P for interaction between group and time point; T0, Baseline; T2, Cycle 2 of chemotherapy, T4, Cycle 4 of chemotherapy; LV-GLS, LV global longitudinal strain; LV-GCS, LV global circumferential strain
Compared with T0, **P < 0.005
Compared with T2, ※P < 0.05
