New heart scan could catch damage early in childhood cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT03790943
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 500 adult survivors of childhood cancer to see if a newer type of heart ultrasound, called speckle tracking, can find heart problems earlier than the usual method. Researchers want to know if this technique can detect heart damage sooner, which could help with earlier treatment. Participants will have heart scans and exercise tests, and their past cancer treatments will be reviewed.
