QRS voltage change with adriamycin administration
Cancer Treatment Reports
|June 1, 1978
Abstract:
A decrease in the electrocardiographic limb lead QRS voltage of greater than or equal to 30% was highly correlated with the development of congestive heart failure in patients treated with adriamycin (ADM). It is felt that if a decrease in limb lead QRS voltage greater than or equal to 30% were detected in a patient receiving ADM, cardiomyopathy might be avoided or ameliorated by discontinuation of the drug.
