“…A direct interference of 5-fluorouracil with the myocardial cell metabolism leading to cellular hypoxia has been suggested from a study with an isolated perfused rat heart model (Millart et al 1992). In addition, cases of dilated cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure have been reported after 5-fluorouracil treatment, also suggesting a direct toxic effect on the myocardium (Schöber et al 1993;Weidmann et al 1995). Capecitabine may cause ischaemia and cytarabine may cause pericarditis (Wu 2008).…”

“…A cumulative dose threshold for severe heart effects has been calculated between 1.5 and 7g. [39] The risk of cardiac ischemia appears to vary ranging from 1-68% in the patients treated with high-dose infusions of 5-fluorouracil. [40] Cardiac complications after administration of a bolus occur with a frequency of 1.6-3%, while after 4-5 days of continuous infusions at a frequency of 7.6-15%.…”
