Abstract:
Cardiotoxicity due to antineoplastic agents such as doxorubicin, daunorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristin, vinblastin, cisplatin and busulfan is well known. However, 5-fluorouracil-induced cardiotoxicity is yet to be widely recognized by cardiologists. We report a patient who developed 5-fluorouracil-induced cardiotoxicity syndrome.
