Abstract:
Having established the significance of cardiovascular side-effects of anti-neoplastic drugs, present day cardio-oncology has forayed into newer territories buoyed by research into the multiple connections that exist between cardiovascular disease and cancer. An emerging concept of reverse cardio-oncology focuses on the heightened risk of cancer in patients with cardiovascular disease. Common mechanistics of cancer and heart failure (HF) like chronic inflammation and clonal haematopoesis as well as common predisposing factors like obesity and diabetes underline the relation between both cardiovascular disease and various cancers.This review discusses the potential magnitude of the problem, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and classification of this novel subject.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
