Study of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Women Who Have HER2-Positive Breast Cancer With Mild Cardiotoxicity
Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out how much oxygen is used during a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) in women who have mild cardiotoxicity after standard treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer, and to see whether the results of this test can be used to predict how well participants' heart and lungs will work if they continue to receive this kind of treatment.
Official title: A Pilot Study of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Patients With Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction Receiving HER2-Targeted Therapy

Conditions
Interventions
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test
All enrolled participants will undergo a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). The CPET will be conducted using an electronic motorized treadmill with 12-lead ECG monitoring performed by ACSM-certified exercise physiologists.
Echocardiogram
Resting assessment of LVEF and GLS will be evaluated through Conventional 2D and Doppler echocardiograms will be performed per protocol using a commercially available ultrasound scanner, according to the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) recommendations for a comprehensive examination.
Echocardiography
As soon as possible following completion of the CPET, subjects will be placed in the supine position and 2D echocardiographic images will be obtained in the apical 4-/ 3-/2-chamber views.
