  1. Data are expressed as mean ± SD or number (%).
  2. CTRCD indicates cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction; EDVi, end-diastolic volume index; EF, ejection fraction; ESVi, end-systolic volume index; GLS, global peak systolic longitudinal strain; LA, left atrial; LV, left ventricular.
  3. p*: comparison between the tested value and the baseline value.
  4. p#: comparison between the subtle LV dysfunction group and the non-subtle LV dysfunction group.
