Global Longitudinal Strain Early Change Index (GLS-ECI) Calculator

Global Longitudinal Strain Early Change Index (GLS-ECI): Explanation and Clinical Context The Global Longitudinal Strain Early Change Index (GLS-ECI) is a sensitive echocardiographic measure used to detect early myocardial dysfunction before overt changes in left ventricular ejection fraction occur. It is calculated as the percentage change between baseline GLS and follow-up GLS: GLS-ECI (%) = (Follow-up GLS − Baseli

HER2 Therapy Cardiotoxicity Index (Trastuzumab) Calculator

HER2 Therapy Cardiotoxicity Index (Trastuzumab): Explanation and Clinical Context Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the HER2 receptor, is widely used in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer. However, its use is associated with an increased risk of cardiotoxicity, particularly in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions, older age, prior anthracycline therapy, and elevated body mass inde

ICOS Biomarker Model Calculator

ICOS Biomarker Model: Explanation and Clinical Context The ICOS Biomarker Model integrates cardiac biomarkers and echocardiographic parameters to assess the risk of cardiotoxicity in cancer patients. Elevated levels of troponin (>16 ng/L) and BNP (>100 pg/mL), along with a reduced global longitudinal strain (<-18%), are indicative of increased risk. This model aids clinicians in early identification and management of
