Left ventricular global longitudinal strain is worse in BRCA mutation positive breast cancer patients prior to cancer treatment and premature menopause
CONCLUSION: In women with newly diagnosed breast cancer and prior to treatment, LV-GLS was worse in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers compared to those with BRCA wildtype. These findings suggest that BRCA mutations may be associated with subtle changes in cardiac function. Whether differences in GLS translate to increased cardiovascular risk in women with BRCA mutations needs to be further characterized.PMID:38717528 | DOI:10.1007/s10549-024-07344-4
