    For patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer , anti -HER2 therapies such as trastuzumab have greatly improved survival in both adjuvant and metastatic settings .


    For patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer , anti -HER2 therapies such as trastuzumab have greatly improved survival in both adjuvant and metastatic settings .


    Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is the gold standard technique for quantitative assessment of cardiac chambers , with higher reproducibility and spatial resolution than echocardiography


    In this prospective, two-center longitudinal study, 41 women with HER2-positive breast cancer received 12 months of adjuvant trastuzumab in addition to standard chemotherapy


    Among 41 women (mean age, 52 ± 11 [SD] years; 56% received anthracyclines), one patient developed trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity (TIC), which resulted in trastuzumab interrupted for one cycle



    In this prospective cohort study of trastuzumab-treated breast cancer patients, there was a small but significant subclinical decrease in LAEF and a modest increase in LAmin after initiation of treatment , which returned to baseline 6 months after treatment was discontinued
