Actual (reported)This pilot research trial studies magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cardio (heart)-pulmonary (lung) exercise testing in evaluating exercise intolerance in patients with stage I-III breast cancer after treatment with chemotherapy drugs called anthracyclines. Anthracyclines are related with heart problems, cardiac abnormalities, bone and muscle dysfunction. Patients with breast cancer who are exposed to anthracycline drugs may also experience progressive fatigue and exercise intolerance which may limit daily activities and is an important barrier for patients returning to work. Using MRI and cardio-pulmonary exercise testing (CPET) may help doctors understand the causes of fatigue and exercise intolerance in patients receiving anthracycline chemotherapy and this may also allow doctors to plan better treatments to protect patients' heart, cardiovascular system, bone and muscle function.

Actual (reported)A-VO2 differences
Descriptive statistics will be estimated for each measure at each of the two times they are measured. Correlation between the two assessments of each measure will be estimated and then establish a 95% confidence interval for this correlation. Difference between each assessment will be calculated and a 95% confidence interval for this difference will be estimated. A paired t-test will be performed to determine if the groups have a mean difference close to zero. The ratio of the variances for each measure at each time point will be examined. The ratio will be examined whether it is close to 1.0
Baseline to up to 2 weeks
Patients undergo CPET using a one-way breathing mask in 2 separate days 1-2 weeks apart. Patients also undergo MRI before and within 60 seconds after exercising.
