Cardiac status in bone tumor survivors up to nearly 19 years after treatment with doxorubicin: A longitudinal study

Abstract: Anthracycline-related late echocardiographic abnormalities and arrhythmias detected 8.9 years after treatment, showed no further deterioration with ongoing follow-up. However, there was a significant reduction of HRV. This suggests that HRV might be a sensitive test for detection of anthracycline-induced cardiac toxicity.

“…For example, the HRV parameters among our premature infants were all somewhat lower than those reported by those evaluating HRV in term infants (50,51), consistent with reports that HRV parameters are lower among infants of lower postconceptional age (21,22,25,36,50,(52)(53)(54). Likewise, our results for the values of HRV parameters in pediatric oncology patients are similar to those found in earlier studies (13); values for HRV parameters in oncology patients may be lower than healthy children of similar ages due to cardiac toxicity of anthracycline chemotherapy, pain or other symptoms (55).…”

“…Although some have reported occasional instances of sudden death 177 that may be related to repolarization abnormalities (QT prolongation and abnormal QT dispersion) in association with ventricular dysfunction, 455 others have described only infrequent and clinically unimportant arrhythmias. 456 Other studies of pediatric cancer survivors have described ventricular arrhythmias in association with late ventricular dysfunction, 457 but in general, these studies have been small and were not systematic evaluations of the population at risk. There are no data about whether the risk of arrhythmia exceeds that found in other causes of ventricular dysfunction.…”

“…There is an increase in ventricular ectopy in patients receiving doxorubicin during the acute infusion period, but this is very rarely of any significance (1067,1068). Some studies have suggested reduced HRV, abnormalities in area ratios on SAECG, and increased QTc may be indicators of impending cardiomyopathy and electrical instability, but these have yet to be substantiated (1066,1069,1070). Long-term intermittent cardiac assessment of patients is therefore necessary and cardiac decompensation should be treated conventionally.…”
