Brief Summary:
This study regarding oncological patients for rehabilitation after specific cancer therapy involves three aims: (1) to evaluate the predictive value of myocardial work parameters on the improvement of exercise performance after rehabilitation, (2) to determine which echocardiographic parameters are more suitable in predicting cardiac dysfunction, and (3) to evaluate the correlation between echocardiographic parameters and fibrosis detected by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).
Detailed Description:
Myocardial work (MW) provides an estimation of cardiac function by combining global longitudinal strain (GLS) with blood pressure values obtained non-invasively, being less load dependent than standard GLS. The investigator hypothesize that myocardial work could be a useful marker for predicting the exercise performance after chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy in oncological patients undergoing rehabilitation. Moreover, this study may provide additional information in optimal selection for rehabilitation programs.
