Left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony after chemotherapy in breast cancer patients with normal rest gated SPECT-MPI

ConclusionUsing phase analysis of gated SPECT-MPI, chemotherapy-induced LVD was seen in a significant number of patients with breast cancer, especially with a high cumulative dose of doxorubicin. LVD might indicate chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity before LVEF becomes abnormal.
