To improve early detection of doxorubicin cardiotoxicity, studies were performed in patients with long-term doxorubicin treatment using pulsed Doppler echocardiography to assess the changes in left ventricular (LV) diastolic filling dynamics. M-mode echocardiographic systolic parameters and Doppler transmitral flow velocities were analyzed in two groups of patients.
