RESUMO

AIMS: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is standard of care for evaluating chemotherapy-associated cardiotoxicity, although global longitudinal strain (GLS) offers advantages. However, neither change in LVEF or GLS has been associated with short-term symptoms, functional capacity, or long-term heart failure (HF) risk. We sought to determine whether an integrative measure of cardiovascular function (VO2peak) that is strongly associated with HF risk would be more sensitive to cardiac damage induced by cancer treatment than LVEF, GLS, or cardiac biomarkers. METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients (n = 206, 53 ± 13 years, 35% male) scheduled to commence anti-cancer treatment completed assessment prior to, and within 6 months after therapy. Changes in echocardiographic measures of LV function (LVEF, GLS), cardiac biomarkers (troponin and BNP), and cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak) were measured. LV function was normal prior to treatment (LVEF 61 ± 5%; GLS -19.4 ± 2.1), but VO2peak was only 88 ± 26% of age-predicted. After treatment, VO2peak was reduced by 7 ± 15% (equivalent of 7 years normal ageing, P < 0.0001) and the rates of functional disability (defined as VO2peak ≤ 18 mL/min/kg) almost doubled (15% vs. 26%, P = 0.016). In contrast, small, reductions in LVEF (59 ± 5% vs. 58 ± 5%, P = 0.03) and GLS (-19.4 ± 2.1 vs. -18.9 ± 2.2, P = 0.002) and an increase in troponin levels (4.0 ± 6.9 vs. 26.4 ± 26.2 ng/mL, P < 0.0001) were observed. CONCLUSION: Anti-cancer treatment is associated with marked reductions in functional capacity that occur independent of reductions in LVEF and GLS. The assessment of VO2peak prior to, and following treatment may be a more sensitive means of identifying patients at increased risk of HF.
