Abstract:
Therapy development for cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) to prolong lifespan makes the relationship between these two conditions more complex. Drug interactions in cardiology and oncology are associated with metabolism and drug transportation. Advances in biomarkers and imaging provide novel methods for detecting cardiotoxicity, including cardiac injury and inflammation. The new concept of CVD-related cancer risk is leading to a new direction of progression termed "reverse cardio-oncology."

Regulation of the Cardiovascular System
The regulation of the cardiovascular system involves the autonomic nervous system (ANS), baroreceptors, and chemoreceptors, ensuring that heart rate and blood pressure are appropriately modulated in response to varying physiological demands.
The ANS comprises two main divisions: the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system enhances...

The essential diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial necrosis and monitoring individuals suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS) include:
Troponins
Troponins, particularly cardiac troponins I and T, are the most precise and sensitive markers of myocardial injury. They are detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury and remain...
