Can rosuvastatin protect against chemo-induced cardiotoxicity in HER2+ breast cancer?

22 Jul 2024 by

Use of rosuvastatin is associated with a significantly lower decline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and lower serum levels of cardiotoxicity-associated biomarkers in newly diagnosed HER2-positive breast cancer patients treated with anthracycline-based chemotherapy followed by trastuzumab, according to the results of a prospective, randomized, controlled, parallel study.
