A Study to Evaluate Brain Natriuretic Peptides for the Avoidance of Treatment-Related Heart Failure in Breast Cancer Survivors

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine if Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-pro-BNP) values increase over time in breast cancer survivors and correlate with cardiac dysfunction. This study will define the average NT-pro-B-natriuretic peptide values in female breast cancer patients 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years out from anthracycline-based chemotherapy.
