Cardiotoxicity and cardiovascular disease risk assessment for patients receiving breast cancer treatment

Abstract: Background: Cardiotoxicity from anticancer therapy affects heart function and structure. Cardiotoxicity can also lead to accelerated development of chronic diseases, especially in the presence of risk factors. Methods: This study aimed to develop and pilot a combined cardiovascular disease and cardiotoxicity risk assessment questionnaire to quantify the potential extent of risk factors in breast cancer patients prior to treatment. The questionnaire underwent content and face validity evaluation by an expert pa… Show more

“…Currently, there is an increasing amount of evidence that cancer and CVD share not only the risk factors but also the mechanism of pathogenicity [4,5]. This is confirmed mainly in the case of breast cancer by the increased cardiac risk in patients receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy as well as in cancer survivors [6][7][8][9][10]. It is also plausible that cancer itself may deleteriously affect heart function, irrespective of exposure to anticancerogenic therapies.…”

“…Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remains number one of the fatal diseases, which is ever increasing worldwide and hence, scientific community has concerned about it [1,2]. Cardiotoxicity occurs as a result of the complicated working of cardiac cells and tissues or due to a chemical molecule affecting heart function and structure [3,4]. Cardiotoxicity induced by drugs has gained attention in the past few decades.…”
