The diagnostic value of global longitudinal strain combined with cardiac biomarkers on early detection of anthracycline-related cardiac dysfunction

ConclusionCombination of GLS with biomarkers had a high diagnostic value in early identification of anthracycline-related cardiac dysfunction, with an estimated diagnostic accuracy of over 85%. This information could potentially help in the identification of patients at high risk of developing cardiac dysfunction, allowing for earlier management.
