Repercussions of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Care Practices of a Tertiary Hospital.

Background: We still do not have information regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on medical care activity in Brazil.

Objective: To describe the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on the care routine of a tertiary hospital, which is a regional reference in cardiology and oncology.

Methods: Cross-sectional cohort study.

Subclinical ventricular dysfunction detected by speckle tracking two years after use of anthracycline.

Background: Heart failure is a severe complication associated with doxorubicin (DOX) use. Strain, assessed by two-dimensional speckle tracking (2D-STE), has been shown to be useful in identifying subclinical ventricular dysfunction.

Objectives: a) To investigate the role of strain in the identification of subclinical ventricular dysfunction in patients who used DOX; b) to investigate determinants of strain response in these patients.
