We tried to develop and validate an early detection technique of chemo therapy cardiotoxicity in the cancer treatment using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging. We hypothesized myocardial blood flow (MBF), more sensitive technique than EF or DHE, provides information on the altered physiology and function conditions of the heart. Chemo treatment induces changes in myocardial perfusion at rest enough to be detected with model based quantitation, with sequential imaging on the same subject. It provides an earlier indication of cardiotoxicity.
