Role of Spectral CT in the Evaluation of Cardiotoxicity in Patients With Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma Treated With Anthracyclines
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
To evaluate the diagnostic capability of Spectral CT (performed with contrast agent as part of routine oncological follow-up) in detecting signs of acute and chronic early-onset cardiac toxicity from anthracyclines in patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma undergoing treatment regimens that include a drug from this family.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Myocardial damage — 36 months after starting CHT
Diagnosis of the presence of acute myocardial damage (hyperemia present) or chronic damage (hyperemia absent) based on the evaluation of the following parameters obtained from Spectral CT: * Increased ECV (ECV value above the upper limit of normality, set at 30%). * Presence of Late Iodine Enhancement (LIE) in the myocardium (areas of myocardial hyperdensity due to late-phase iodine contrast accumulation) and its relative extent. * Presence of Hyperemia or Hypoperfusion using the Spectral "Iodine No Water" parameter (visual scoring of hyper- or hypodense areas; consideration of a possible quantitative score in mgI/ml). * Diagnosis of myocardial damage due to chemotherapy (CHT) based on clinical practice upon hospital discharge.
