Reduced in vivo high-energy phosphates precede Adriamycin-induced cardiac dysfunction
22 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
Adriamycin (ADR) is an established, life-saving antineoplastic agent, the use of which is often limited by cardiotoxicity. ADR-induced cardiomyopathy is often accompanied by depressed myocardial high-energy phosphate (HEP) metabolism. Impaired HEP metabolism has been suggested as a potential mechanism of ADR cardiomyopathy, in which case the bioenergetic decline should precede left ventricular (LV) dysfunction....
