Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The primary objective of this pilot study is to assess the neuroadrenergic<br /><br>system in patients with cardiac toxicity due to trastuzumab in order to reveal<br /><br>the pathofysiological mechanisms of trastuzumab induced cardiotoxicity</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The secondary objective of this study is, in case of a positive tendens of<br /><br>abnormal I-MIBG scans in patients with declined LEVFs, to set up a prospective<br /><br>randomized controlled trial for patients with trastuzumab induced cardiotoxiciy<br /><br>in the future. </p><br>
