Abstract | Background: The growing population of long-term childhood cancer survivors encounter a substantial burden of cardiovascular complications. The highest risk of cardiovascular complications is associated with exposure to anthracyclines and chest radiation. Longitudinal cardiovascular surveillance is recommended for childhood cancer patients; however, the optimal methods and timing are yet to be elucidated. Aims: We aimed to investigate the feasibility of different echocardiographic methods to evaluate left ventricular systolic function in retrospective datasets, including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), fractional shortening (FS), global longitudinal strain (GLS) and longitudinal strain (LS) as well as the incidence and timing of subclinical left ventricular dysfunction detected by these methods. Methods and results: A retrospective longitudinal study was performed with re-analysis of longitudinal echocardiographic data, acquired during treatment and early follow-up, including 41 pediatric sarcoma patients, aged 2.1-17.8 years at diagnosis, treated at Astrid Lindgren Children's Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden, during the period 2010-2021. All patients had received treatment according to protocols including high cumulative doxorubicin equivalent doses (≥250 mg/m Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate feasibility of LS in a majority of echocardiograms and a high incidence of impaired LS during anthracycline treatment for childhood sarcoma. We propose inclusion of LS in pediatric echocardiographic surveillance protocols. |
