Despite the left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) enables early prediction of trastuzumab-related cardiomyopathy, its clinical application has been hampered due to the lack of appropriate evaluation and treatment strategies. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effect of early

Hyperuricemia is considered one of the risk factors for arterial hypertension in postmenopausal women. The recent analysis by Loeffler confirmed that, as indicated in the NHANES survey, uric acid is a powerful cardiovascular risk factor.Analysis of age and sex strata in a meta-analysis showed

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To correlate levels of histamine in plasma with pain scores in patients with bone metastases from breast cancer that have or have not been treated with palliative radiotherapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To perform exploratory studies with additional markers not mentioned,

To date anthracycline chemotherapy regimens still play a major role in many cancer treatments, approximately 32% of breast cancer patients, 57-70% of elderly lymphoma patients, and 50-60% of childhood cancers survivors are treated with an anthracycline regimen. Of these patients, approximately

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess whether prophylactic beta blocker therapy with carvedilol compared with no intervention reduces the risk of subsequent cardiac dysfunction in patients with metastatic breast cancer receiving trastuzumab?based HER-2 targeted therapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess

PROACT is a phase 3 randomised, open label, blinded endpoint, superiority trial of enalapril to prevent anthracycline-induced in patients treated for breast cancer and lymphoma. Anthracyclines used in the treatment of breast cancer cause damage to heart muscle cells; this results in cell death

Rationale for the study: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Swedish women, accounting for a third of all cancer cases among females. The breast cancer incidence has increased from 2596 to more than 8000 breast cancer diagnosis 2011. During the past 40 years, the age-adjusted incidence has

Probenecid is a well-established hypouricaemic agent for the treatment of hyperuricaemia and gout and is thought to act on urate transporter 1 (URAT1), a novel member of the organic anion transporter (OAT) family, thereby increasing uric acid excretion in the kidney by blocking urate reuptake, and

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women. Recent progress in the detection and treatment of breast cancer has resulted in survival gains, but a consequence of therapeutic advances is an increasing number of long-term survivors who may be at risk for development of cardiovascular

Prospective, randomized pharmacological intervention study Primary objectives: - to determine whether concurrent ATII-antagonist treatment can prevent trastuzumab-related cardiotoxicity, defined as a decline in LVEF of more than 15% or a decrease to an absolute value <45% Secondary objectives: - To

Aim of the study To explore if there is an impact of LL COMT genotype on clinical and biological outcome variables in patients undergoing cardiac surgery compared to HH genotype. Background Cardiac surgery has been shown to be an effective method for prolonging life in patients with severe coronary
