ABSTRACT

Background:Chemotherapy with anthracyclines and trastuzumab can cause cardiotoxicity. Alteration of cardiac adrenergic function assessed by metaiodobenzylguanidine labeled with iodine-123 (123I-mIBG) seems to precede the drop in left ventricular ejection fraction.Objective:To evaluate and to compare the presence of cardiovascular abnormalities among patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy with anthracyclines and trastuzumab, and only with anthracycline.Methods:Patients with breast cancer were analyzed clinical, laboratory, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic and cardiac sympathetic activity. In scintigraphic images, the ratio of 123I-mIBG uptake between the heart and mediastinum, and the washout rate were calculated. The variables were compared between patients who received anthracyclines and trastuzumab (Group 1) and only anthracyclines (Group 2).Results:Twenty patients, with mean age 57 ± 14 years, were studied. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction by echocardiography was 67.8 ± 4.0%. Mean washout rate was 28.39 ± 9.23% and the ratio of 123I-mIBG uptake between the heart and mediastinum was 2.07 ± 0.28. Of the patients, 82% showed an increased in washout rate, and the ratio of 123I-mIBG uptake between the heart and mediastinum decreased in 25%. Concerning the groups, the mean washout rate of Group 1 was 32.68 ± 9.30% and of Group 2 was 24.56 ± 7.72% (p = 0,06). The ratio of 123I-mIBG uptake between the heart and mediastinum was normal in all patients in Group 2, however, the Group 1, showed 50% the ratio of 123I-mIBG uptake between the heart and mediastinum ≤ 1.8 (p = 0.02).Conclusion:In women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy, assessment of cardiac sympathetic activity with 123I-mIBG appears to be an early marker of cardiotoxicity. The combination of chemotherapy showed higher risk of cardiac adrenergic hyperactivity.


Fundamento:A quimioterapia com antracíclicos e trastuzumabe pode causar cardiotoxicidade. A alteração da função adrenérgica cardíaca, avaliada pela metaiodobenzilguanidina marcada com iodo-123 (123I-mIBG), parece preceder a queda da fração de ejeção do ventrículo esquerdo.Objetivo:Avaliar e comparar a presença de alterações cardiovasculares entre pacientes com câncer de mama submetidas à quimioterapia com antracíclicos e trastuzumabe e apenas a antracíclico.Métodos:Foram analisadas variáveis clínicas, laboratoriais, eletro e ecocardiográficas, além de atividade simpática cardíaca. Nas imagens cintilográficas, foram calculadas a relação da captação do 123I-mIBG entre o coração e o mediastino, e a taxa de clareamento. As variáveis foram comparadas entre os pacientes que receberam antracíclicos e trastuzumabe (Grupo 1) e apenas antracíclicos (Grupo 2).Resultados:Vinte pacientes, com idade média 57 ± 14 anos, participaram deste estudo. A fração de ejeção do ventrículo esquerdo média pelo ecocardiograma foi 67,8 ± 4,0%. A taxa de clareamento média foi 28,39 ± 9,23%, e a relação da captação do 123I-mIBG entre o coração e o mediastino foi de 2,07 ± 0,28. Dentre as pacientes, 82% mostraram taxa de clareamento aumentada e 25%, uma relação da captação do 123I-mIBG entre o coração e o mediastino diminuída. Em relação aos grupos, a média da taxa de clareamento no Grupo 1 foi de 32,68 ± 9,30% e, no Grupo 2, de 24,56 ± 7,72% (p = 0,06). A relação da captação do 123I-mIBG entre o coração e o mediastino foi normal em todas as pacientes do Grupo 2, entretanto, no Grupo 1, 50% mostraram relação da captação do 123I-mIBG entre o coração e o mediastino ≤ 1,8 (p = 0,02).Conclusão:Em mulheres com câncer de mama submetidas à quimioterapia, a avaliação da atividade simpática cardíaca com 123I-mIBG pode ser um marcador precoce de cardiotoxicidade. A associação de quimioterápicos proporcionou maior risco de hiperatividade adrenérgica cardíaca.
