Subendocardial late gadolinium enhancement in two patients with anthracycline cardiotoxicity following treatment for Ewing's sarcoma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cardiotoxicity is a well-known consequence of anthracycline chemotherapy. We report CMR findings not previously described in two patients with anthracycline cardiotoxicity following treatment for Ewing's sarcoma. Subendocardial enhancement on late gadolinium contrast-enhanced CMR was present in both cases, with histological correlation in one case.

CMR shows that anthracycline cardiotoxicity is common in women treated for early breast cancer and associated with undiagnosed hypertension; but cannot be reliably detected using late-gadolinium enhancement imaging
Background A growing number of patients with cancer are at risk from chronic anthracycline cardiotoxicity (cAC) as a result of improving cancer prognosis. Although susceptibility is cumulative dose-related, it is also idiosyncratic. Furthermore, at present there is no way to reliably identify those at risk. The common practice of serially measuring LV ejection fraction (LVEF) only identifies ca...
متن کاملEvaluation of Anthracycline Effects on NT-ProBNP Plasma Level in Children with Malignancy
Background: NT-proBNP is a marker that is released from ventricles in response to pressure and volume overload. Raised plasma level of NT-proBNP is seen in ventricular dysfunction, ventricular muscular mass reduction or ventricular ischemia. Anthracyclines are widely used in treatment of pediatric cancer but their use is associated with cardiotoxicity which increases mortality and morbidity. We...
متن کاملCardiovascular magnetic resonance in cardiac amyloidosis.
BACKGROUND Cardiac amyloidosis can be diagnostically challenging. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can assess abnormal myocardial interstitium. METHODS AND RESULTS Late gadolinium enhancement CMR was performed in 30 patients with cardiac amyloidosis. In 22 of these, myocardial gadolinium kinetics with T1 mapping was compared with that in 16 hypertensive controls. One patient had CMR an...
متن کاملThe Effect of N-Acetylcysteine Administration to Prevent Anthracycline-Induced Cardiotoxicity in Breast Cancer Patients
Introduction: Anthracyclines are one of the classes of chemotherapy drugs that are widely used to treat many types of cancers including breast cancer. Taking this class of medications has a significant relationship with cardiac dysfunction. N-acetylcysteine has antioxidant properties and may be effective in preventing cardiac dysfunctions. In this study, we investigated the effect of N-acetylc...
