Following low-dose anthracycline chemotherapy, none of our patients encountered LV systolic and diastolic dysfunctions and changes in serum NT-proBNP level. However, further studies with a larger population, longer follow-up duration, and higher dosage of anthracyclines are required to determine the effects of low-dose anthracycline on NT-proBNP level and LV systolic and diastolic functions.
