Overview
There are no specific echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with Kaposi's sarcoma.
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
There are no specific echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with Kaposi's sarcoma. However, echocardiograph is necessary if liposomal doxorubicin is used as therapy, since this medication causes cardiomyopathy. Routine echocardiographs may need to be done throughout therapy, typically once every 3 months.[1]
