A Study to Compare Conventional Heart Echo Measurements with Newer 2 and 3 Dimensional Measurements of Mechanical Heart Strain after Trastuzumab Infusion

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to compare conventional assessment of systolic ventricular function on a 2D heart echo with an assessment of more immediate changes in heart mechanics using 2D and 3D measurements of deformation and strain in patients undergoing infusion of Trastuzumab for breast cancer.
