- Participants in other ongoing clinical trials are eligible for this study
Exclusion Criteria for Women with Stage I-III Breast Cancer:
- Those with ferromagnetic cerebral aneurysm clips or other intracranial metal; pacemakers, defibrillators, functioning neurostimulator devices or other implanted non-compatible MRI devices (patients with tissue expanders will not be excluded)
- If previously measured, known LVEF <50%
- Symptomatic claustrophobia
- Unable to provide informed consent

Breast Cancer Patients
Non-Cancer Controls
Breast cancer patients receiving non-anthracycline or anthracycline chemotherapy Cardiac MRIs will be performed baseline, 3 months (for cancer patients only), and 24 months. Baseline: Collect innovative MRI measures of CV function (LV and aorta); measurements of submaximal (6-minute walk) and, on 45% of the cohort, maximal (peak VO2) exercise capacity; questionnaire data to assess fatigue and behavioral and psychosocial risk factors; and biomarkers. Measurements will be repeated at 3±1, 12±2 and 24±2 months after initiation of chemotherapy treatment.
