Myocardial Dysfunction Late After Low-Dose Anthracycline Treatment in Asymptomatic Pediatric Patients

This confirms that subclinical LV dysfunction is present in patients after low-dose anthracycline treatment during childhood. The long-term significance of these findings warrants further follow-up.
