Abstract:
Current cancer therapy has led to tremendous improvements in outcomes. These therapies rely both on established therapies, such as anthracyclines and radiation, and molecularly-targeted therapies, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immune modulators. Integrative care for patients with cancer must consider the potential effects of these therapies on a variety of organ systems, including the cardiovascular system. As a result, specialties such as cardio-oncology have developed to identify these effects, determine how to best monitor for these effects, and how to treat and ultimately prevent these effects while allowing the patient to receive the therapy they require for their cancer. This review provides a basis for understanding the cardiovascular effects of cancer therapies so that the most appropriate imaging modality may be selected to prevent and treat these effects.
