Brief Title: Myocardial Perfusion and Fibrosis in Cancer Survivors
Official Title: Myocardial Perfusion and Fibrosis in Cancer Survivors
Study ID: NCT03191461
Brief Summary: This is a cross-sectional pilot study. The investigators seek to obtain early information pertaining to the relationship between measurements of myocardial perfusion reserve and myocardial fibrosis after receipt of Anthracycline-based chemotherapy (≥2 years prior).
Detailed Description: The primary objective of this cross-sectional pilot study is to determine the myocardial perfusion reserve index (MPRI) in cancer survivors treated with anthracycline chemotherapy relative to similarly aged healthy comparators without a history of cancer treatment. Hypothesis: Cancer survivors treated with anthracycline chemotherapy will have a lower MPRI than similarly aged healthy comparators without a history of cancer treatment.The secondary objective of this cross-sectional pilot study is to determine if MPRI is associated with myocardial fibrosis measured non-invasively with cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging. Hypothesis: MPRI will be inversely associated with fibrosis burden Study participants will be consented with pre-study data collection recorded. No randomization will occur as this is a cross-sectional study. Participants in both the cancer survivor and control groups will complete one study visit. No follow-up will be completed.
