Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
No Intervention: control-group

This group will include 25 patients who will receive doxorubicin for 4 cycles (3 months) followed by trastuzumab adjuvant therapy.

Active Comparator: rosuvastatin-group

This group will include 25 patients who will receive doxorubicin for 4 cycles (3 months) followed by trastuzumab adjuvant therapy in addition to 20 mg of oral rosuvastatin 24 hours prior to the first cycle of chemotherapy and once daily for the rest of the follow-up period (6 months).

Drug: Rosuvastatin 20mg
20 mg of oral rosuvastatin 24 hours prior to the first cycle of chemotherapy and once daily for the rest of the follow-up period (6 months).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  1. 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).

  2. 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).

  3. 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).

  4. 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).
