Table 3 One-way ANOVA analysis of 2D-STE parameters in each group at different time-points

Group	Time-point	LV-GLS (%)	LV-GCS (%)
A	T0	24.00 ± 0.74	24.39 ± 1.45
	T2	20.66 ± 1.21**	23.65 ± 1.26
	T4	19.93 ± 0.78**^※	20.71 ± 1.24**
B	T0	24.07 ± 0.98	23.91 ± 1.43
	T2	23.54 ± 0.88	23.03 ± 1.57
	T4	20.55 ± 1.58**	20.68 ± 1.58**

Strain measurements are shown in absolute values. P^a, P for each group at different time points; P^b, P for interaction between group and time point; T0, Baseline; T2, Cycle 2 of chemotherapy, T4, Cycle 4 of chemotherapy; LV-GLS, LV global longitudinal strain; LV-GCS, LV global circumferential strain
Compared with T0, **P < 0.005
Compared with T2, ^※P < 0.05
