Sponsor's own description

The combination of epirubicin-cyclophosphamide (EC) and paclitaxel (Tax) is one of the main chemotherapy treatments used in breast cancer patients. These treatments, which can be combined with anti-HER2 therapy using trastuzumab, are frequently associated with side effects including cardiac toxicity. However, this cardiac toxicity has only been demonstrated several months after treatment and using global indices such as ejection fraction. The assessment of myocardial dysfunction using regional deformations and the kinetic of this dysfunction during chemotherapy treatment has never been performed. In order to counteract these myocardial dysfunctions, it is essential to better describe the kinetic of the cardiac toxicity by initiating measurements since the beginning of the treatment, in order to be able to propose adapted countermeasures (e.g. exercise training) in parallel with the chemotherapy.
