Abstract

  1. 101 patients with HER2+ MBC on pertuzumab and trastuzumab were included.

  2. Most observed cardiotoxicity were mild, all occurred early within 24 months.

  3. Presence of cardiovascular co-morbidities predicts treatment cardiotoxicity.

  4. Risk-stratified de-escalation of long-term cardiac surveillance should be discussed.
