Article Synopsis
- Anthracyclines used in chemotherapy can lead to left ventricular dysfunction, but there is limited research on their impact on right ventricular function.
- This study involved 83 women with breast cancer receiving anthracyclines and assessed cardiac function at multiple time points using various echocardiographic techniques.
- The findings revealed significant decreases in both left and right ventricular function following treatment, with 39% of patients showing left ventricular subclinical cardiotoxicity and 28% displaying right ventricular subclinical cardiotoxicity, emphasizing the importance of early detection methods like speckle-tracking echocardiography.
Mechanical Hemolytic Anemia Associated With Mitral Valve Repair: A Case Report With Literature Review.
J Pediatr Hematol Oncol
November 2023
Hemolytic anemia could be caused by several conditions, depending on intrinsic or extrinsic defects of the erythrocyte. The latter group includes mechanical intravascular hemolysis, generally related to malfunctioning prosthetic heart valves or, rarely, heart valves repair. We describe a case of a child with Down syndrome, who developed hemolytic anemia after mitral valve repair.
