Summary
Anthracycline chemotherapies (e.g. doxorubicin, daunorubicin) is commonly given to treat pediatric cancer, and carries a risk of cardiotoxicity. Over the long term, children who receive these therapies have an increased risk of heart failure and early cardiovascular death. However, current strategies for identifying patients who are at risk prior to the development of significant changes in heart function are limited. This study will focus on imaging markers of cardiac injury and dysfunction with the goal of developing improved diagnostic tests and treatment strategies.
Description
Anthracycline chemotherapies (e.g. doxorubicin, daunorubicin) is commonly given to treat pediatric cancer, and carries a risk of cardiotoxicity. Over the long term, children who receive these therapies have an increased risk of heart failure and early cardiovascular death. However, current strategies for identifying patients who are at risk prior to the development of significant changes in heart function are limited. This study will focus on imaging markers of cardiac injury and dysfunction with the goal of developing improved diagnostic tests and treatment strategies.
Cardiac shape, function, and tissue characteristics will be examined using cardiac MRI data in combination with standard cardiac assessments (by echocardiography, electrocardiograms, and cardiac MRI) to assess the cardiotoxic effects of cancer therapy. Analyses will be performed in a cross-sectional cohort of adolescents and young adults with a history of childhood cancer.
