Experimental: CT monitoring arm 18-75 year old patients with newly-diagnosed cancer, scheduled to undergo anthracycline-based chemotherapy. |
Diagnostic Test: low dose CT
CT-based protocol for detection of anthracycline-induced myocardial dysfunction at early stages

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- cardiomyopathy [12 months after completion of chemotherapy]
Cardiomyopathy is defined as a decrease in the left ventricular ejection fraction by echocardiography of greater than 10 percentage points, to a value < 53% (normal reference value for 2D echocardiography).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in CT-based left ventricular strain parameters [12 months after completion of chemotherapy]
Change in CT-based left ventricular strain parameters before and after the chemotherapy
- Change in left ventricular global longitudinal strain based on echocardiography [12 months after completion of chemotherapy]
Change in left ventricular global longitudinal strain between baseline and post-chemotherapy.
- Change in echocardiographic left ventricular ejection fraction [12 months after completion of chemotherapy]
left ventricular ejection fraction change between baseline and post-chemotherapy.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.
-
18-75 year old patients with newly-diagnosed cancer scheduled to undergo anthracycline-based chemotherapy (minimum of 200 mg/m2 of doxorubicin or equivalent) at UCSD Medical Center.
-
Women of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
• A woman of child-bearing potential is any female (regardless of sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice) who meets the following criteria:
-
Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or
-
Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months)
- Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test during the screening period.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Prior chemotherapy with anthracycline;
-
Persistent tachycardia (heart rate>90);
-
LVEF<53% or history of cardiomyopathy or decompensated heart failure;
-
Baseline GLS below lower limit of normal (normal range varies depending on age and gender (23)) or inability to obtain meaningful strain data due to poor quality of Echocardiographic images;
-
Known unrevascularized coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction within 30 days of enrollment;
-
Moderate or severe valvular heart disease;
-
Prior allergy or intolerance to iodinated contrast;
-
Renal failure (GFR<30, creatinine >1.5);
-
Cancer involvement of the heart.
