The Utility of Point of Care Biomarkers to Detect Cardiotoxicity during Anthracycline Chemotherapy: A Feasibility Study

Highlights • Cardiac biomarkers, specifically BNP, can be part of an effective screening strategy for Anthracycline-related cardiotoxicity • In this study, LVEF does not appear to be adequate for the detection of cardiotoxicity • BNP may allow us to direct cardioprotective therapy. More analysis wit...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Cardiac biomarkers, specifically BNP, can be part of an effective screening strategy for Anthracycline-related cardiotoxicity • In this study, LVEF does not appear to be adequate for the detection of cardiotoxicity • BNP may allow us to direct cardioprotective therapy. More analysis with high sensitivity troponin is needed
