HORMONE THERAPY WITH TAMOXIFEN REDUCES PLASMA LEVELS OF NT-B-TYPE NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE BUT DOES NOT CHANGE VENTRICULAR EJECTION FRACTION AFTER CHEMOTHERAPY IN WOMEN WITH BREAST CANCER

Hormone therapy with tamoxifen reduces plasma levels of NT-B-type natriuretic peptide but does not change ventricular ejection fraction after chemotherapy in women with breast cancer

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of tamoxifen on the plasma concentration of NT-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in women undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer and to correlate changes in NT-proBNP with the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).Over a period of 12 months, we followed 60 women with a diagnosis
