What measures should be monitored for Cardiotoxicity?

  1. Hydration status

  2. LVEF and lifetime cumulative dose of anthracycline

  3. Dry mouth

  4. Oral ulcers

The correct answer is: LVEF and lifetime cumulative dose of anthracycline

Monitoring for cardiotoxicity involves assessing cardiac function through measures such as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and keeping track of the cumulative dose of cardiotoxic agents like anthracyclines. This is important because anthracyclines, a class of chemotherapy agents, are known to cause cardiotoxicity by damaging the heart muscle. Monitoring hydration status, dry mouth, and oral ulcers are not directly related to cardiotoxicity and would not provide information specifically related to potential heart damage from anthracyclines.
