The Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation of Doxorubicin Cardiotoxicity

"This pilot study will select patients who are at increased likelihood to develop cardiotoxicity, due to borderline cardiac function at baseline, advanced age, or the anticipation of a high cumulative dose of administered doxorubicin. Patients who will receive radiation therapy to the left chest during chemotherapy (i.e., left breast cancer) will be excluded so as to eliminate possible cardiotoxic effects from radiation. CMR studies will be performed at no charge to the patient, supported by the sponsor of this study. CMR imaging will be subject to IRB approval, informed consent, and HIPAA regulations. Contrast-enhanced CMR will be obtained at three time points:~Patients will not undergo contrast-enhanced MR unless calculated GFR is equal to or greater than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2"
