Abstract
Purpose of review: In this review we describe the role of inflammation in chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity with a particular focus on anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy (AIC). First, we discuss inflammation associated with anthracyclines at a cellular level. Next, we discuss the clinical implications of these inflammatory mechanisms for early detection and cardioprotective strategies in patients undergoing anthracycline treatment.
Recent findings: Key inflammatory pathways identified in AIC include cytokine release, upregulation of the innate immune system via toll-like receptors, and activation of the inflammasome. Emerging evidence suggests a role for inflammatory biomarkers in detecting subclinical AIC. Advanced imaging techniques, such as cardiac PET with novel tracers targeting inflammation, may enhance early detection. Both traditional cardioprotective strategies and novel anti-inflammatory therapies show potential in preventing and treating AIC. Understanding the inflammatory mechanisms involved in AIC provides new opportunities for early detection and targeted cardioprotective strategies in patients undergoing anthracycline treatment and informs our understanding of other forms of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this journal is to provide timely perspectives from experts on current advances in cardiovascular medicine. We also seek to provide reviews that highlight the most important recently published papers selected from the wealth of available cardiovascular literature.
We accomplish this aim by appointing key authorities in major subject areas across the discipline. Section editors select topics to be reviewed by leading experts who emphasize recent developments and highlight important papers published over the past year. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field.
