Excerpt

The effectiveness of anthracycline chemotherapy is limited by dose dependant cardiotoxicity. Current protocols reduce the cumulative dose, however subclinical myocardial damage may still manifest years after cessation of therapy. The most serious side effect is dilated cardiomyopathy with pathological changes of fibrosis. The potential presence of fibrosis in this remodelling is unknown. …
