12 Furthermore, van den Bogaard and his team employed ultrasound to evaluate changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and GLS in breast cancer patients after radiation therapy and identified a highly significant relationship between the dose to the left main coronary artery (LMCA) and GLS changes in that area. 27 However, previous studies have not evaluated the correlation between dose and functional indices in specific regions. 28 Our study analyzed the correlation between dose and functional indices in 20 regions.
