Abstract:
Cardiovascular disease and cancer have a major interplay across different contexts, with mental health being an important component when assessing both patients with cardiovascular disease and cancer. Over the years, cardio-oncology rehabilitation programs have evolved to encompass comprehensive multidisciplinary interventions, aiming to address several facets of cardiovascular disease among cancer survivors. Psychosocial support is a core element of contemporary programs, underscoring the relevance of this area. In this article, an overview of core concepts, current paradigms, and challenges in cardio-oncology rehabilitation is provided, with a background focused on mental health.
