Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Relation between hs-TNT values and cardiac dysfunction (measured by left<br /><br>ventricular ejection fraction with echocardiography) after chemotherapy.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Secondary objectives of this study are to investigate the relation between the<br /><br>change in hs-TNT values and cardiac function after Ctx.<br /><br>1. hs-TNT kinetics during Ctx and relation to cardiac function (% LVEF). (delta<br /><br>change within one Ctx cycle, delta change between Ctx cycles, delta change<br /><br>baseline and final hs-TNT value)<br /><br>2. Detection and prediction of cardiotoxicity (definition: an asymptomatic<br /><br>reduction >10% of the LVEF reaching ,<55%, or a symptomatic reduction >5% of<br /><br>the LVEF reaching <55%) by hs-TNT values (single value or delta changes).</p><br>
