Abstract:
As an effective way,adjuvant chemotherapy is widely used in treatment of malignant tumors,whereas chemotherapy related cardiotoxicity has become an important factor influencing of patients' life quality and survival rate.Early,accurate prediction of cardiotoxicity is very important.Echocardiography is widely used to assess the cardiac function with advantages of convenience,economicly and noninvasion.New technologies of echocardiography can make up for the deficiency of conventional echocardiography and improve sensitivity and accuracy of cardiac function assessment,which making it possible to detect cardiotoxicity early and accurately.The progresses of echocardiography in evaluation of chemotherapy related cardiotoxicity were reviewed in this article.
