Identifying heart issues in breast cancer patients using echocardiography

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

TRUST-ACE aims to compare a simplified echocardiographic protocol that focuses on ventricular function against a comprehensive echocardiographic examination in breast cancer patients. The study will utilize a randomized design to assess the effectiveness of these approaches in identifying cancer treatment-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). Additionally, it will evaluate novel tools for standardizing recordings and automating measurements like ejection fraction (EF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) to enhance diagnostic precision in clinical practice.
