Session 5 - Keynote Debate: Imaging Guided Cardioprotective Strategies – Ready for Prime Time?

One of the primary goals of cardio-oncology is to identify those patients at highest risk of developing cardiotoxicity and initiate cardioprotective treatments. The SUCCOR study was an international multicenter trial evaluating a global longitudinal strain (GLS) guided approach for cardioprotection in the context of anthracycline treatment.
From this debate you will learn more about:
• The SUCCOR study trial design and primary outcomes
• Strengths and limitations of the study
• Interpretation of the results from both two opposing perspectives
