Abstract
Purpose of review: Patients living with cancer are at risk for significant potential cardiovascular complications as a direct result of cancer treatment or due to underlying comorbid cardiovascular disease. This article reviews the methods of risk stratification as well as pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches to cardioprotection in cardio-oncology.
Recent findings: Several cancer-specific risk stratification tools have incorporated variables such as age, sex, cancer subtype, traditional cardiovascular risk factors and cancer treatment-related parameters to assess cardiovascular specific risk prior to cancer therapy. Cardioprotective strategies, namely neurohormonal blockade and statins, have yielded mixed results in patients with cancer. Non-pharmacologic strategies, including exercise and dietary interventions, have shown potentially promising results in observational and randomized studies. Ultimately, the optimal cardioprotective strategy should be personalized based on each patient's unique risk profile and clinical context. Further research is needed to better define the role of cardioprotection across different cancer subtypes and cardiovascular risk groups, with an emphasis on refining individualized prevention and treatment strategies.
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.
