Left ventricular systolic function in HER2/neu negative breast cancer patients treated with anthracycline chemotherapy: A comparative analysis of left ventricular ejection fraction and myocardial strain imaging over 12 months

Myocardial strain imaging is more sensitive than LVEF for the early detection and intermediate term monitoring of LV systolic function following anthracycline chemotherapy in HER2/neu negative breast cancer patients, and may aid in the development of improved monitoring protocols.
