• A frequent subclinical cardiotoxicity was detected by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging after short-term anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) therapy. • The change in myocardial strain was more marked in patients treated with dual (trastuzumab plus pertuzumab) than with trastuzumab only anti-HER2 therapy. • Cardiotoxicity surveillance through MRI is an interesting option particularly in patients treated with dual anti-HER2 therapy.
