Anthracycline chemotherapies (e.g. doxorubicin, daunorubicin) are commonly given to treat pediatric cancer, and carry a risk of cardiotoxicity. Over the long term, children who receive these therapies have an increased risk of heart failure and early cardiovascular death. However, current strategies for identifying patients who are at risk prior to the development of significant changes in heart function are limited. This study will focus on imaging markers of cardiac injury and dysfunction with the goal of developing improved diagnostic tests and treatment strategies.

Inclusion Criteria: * English and Spanish speaking male and female subjects, ages 13-39 years old * Diagnosis of cancer at age \<22 years * Previously treated with anthracyline therapy for cancer, with diagnosis at least two years prior. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who have a contraindication to cardiac MRI, including the presence of non-MRI compatible metallic implants. * Medical, psychiatric, and/or social disorder that would prevent successful completion of planned study testing or would preclude the subject from undergoing the cardiac MRI without anesthesia. * Patients with a history…
