Possible Protective Effect of Rosuvastatin in Chemotherapy-induced Cardiotoxicity in HER2 Positive Breast Cancer Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study aims to investigate the possible role of rosuvastatin in protection against cardiotoxicity in HER2 positive breast cancer patients receiving doxorubicin sequential with trastuzumab.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- arrhythmia detected by electrocardiography (ECG) [6 months]
Patients will undergo electrocardiography (ECG) prior to the initiation of chemotherapy , after 3 months and after 6 months to detect any arrhythmia.
- change in left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) detected by electrocardiography transthoracic echocardiography [6 months]
Patients will undergo transthoracic echocardiography 24 hours prior to the initiation of chemotherapy, after 3 months and after 6 months to detect change in LVEF
Secondary Outcome Measures
- change of serum level of High sensitivity troponin I (hs-TnI). [6 months]
Blood samples will be collected at baseline, after 3 months and after 6 months to evaluate High sensitivity troponin I (hs-TnI).
- change of serum level of Myeloperoxidase (MPO). [6 months]
Blood samples will be collected at baseline, after 3 months and after 6 months to evaluate Myeloperoxidase (MPO).
- change of serum level of Interleukin-6 (IL-6). > Liver function test (ALT). [6 months]
Blood samples will be collected at baseline, after 3 months and after 6 months to evaluate Interleukin-6 (IL-6).
- change of serum level of Liver function test (ALT). [6 months]
Blood samples will be collected at baseline, after 3 months and after 6 months to evaluate Liver function test (ALT).
