Cardiac Impairments Following Pediatric Cardiotoxic Anti-cancer Treatment
Conditions: Cardiovascular Diseases, Pediatric Cancer
Sex: All
Ages: 10 Years – 25 Years
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Enrollment: 40
Sponsor: Technical University of Munich
Location: Institute of Preventive Pediatrics, Department of Sport and Health Sciences, Technical University of Munich, Germany Munich
Summary
This study aims at investigating the feasibility of recruitment and application of a method regarding early detection of subclinical changes in cardiac health after completion of acute cancer treatment during childhood and adolescence.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion criteria for all participants:
* Aged between 10 and 25 years
* Body height of ≥1,40m (required for performing the examination on the semi supine bicycle ergometer)
* Signed informed assent (minor participant) and consent (legal guardian and full-aged participant)
Additional inclusion criteria for participants following cancer treatment:
* Completion of acute cancer treatment with anthracyclines and/or chest radiation
* End of treatment 12 months and five years ago (± three months)
* Medical approval for study participation
Additional inclusion criteria for healthy control subjects:
\- Appropriate as matched pair with respect to age and gender
Exclusion Criteria:
* Known cardiovascular diseases (incoherent with cardiotoxic treatment)
* Inability to follow study instructions (e.g., mental retardation, language)
* Acute orthopedic injury (e.g., bone fracture) or orthopedic impairments that preclude examination on a bicycle ergometer (e.g., instable prosthetic device)
All participants receive a basic physical and cardiological examination at rest as part of the study protocol to ensure capability before performing the exercise stress echocardiography.
