“…GRS (39.71 ± 8.09% vs. median 30.56% [IQR 26.52 to 38.15%]; p = 0.001), GCS (-23.45 ± 2.09% vs. median -19.71% [IQR -21.71 to -19.10%]; p < 0.001) and GLS (-16.17 ± 2.42% vs. median -12.12% [IQR -14.10 to -8.53%]; p< 0.001) further decreased as the number of chemotherapy cycles increased during follow-up (all p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that GCS was independently associated with the number of chemotherapy regimens (Standard regression coefficient [β] = 0.397, p < 0.001).ConclusionsMyocardial deformation is more sensitive than LVEF in detecting subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in patients with gynecologic cancer undergoing chemotherapy. …”
