This concise clinical atlas focuses on the multidisciplinary field of cardio-oncology, examining the shared risk factors between cardiovascular disease and cancer, and addressing the development of cardiovascular disease in cancer survivors, often as a result of cancer therapy.
The first comprehensive guidelines developed by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) addressing cardiovascular disease management in cancer patients. It contains 272 new recommendations and emphasizes the critical role of integration and communication across cardiology, oncology, and hematology disciplines.
This viewpoint analyzes cardiac wasting associated with advanced cancer, proposing it as an important endpoint for cardio-oncology trials. It notes its high frequency (up to 50%) and significant clinical relevance, including reduced left ventricular size, increased mortality, and lower physical performance. The article calls for future research focusing on prevention, reversal, biomarker development, and differentiating cardiac cachexia from other chronic illnesses.
This book examines the spectrum of cardiovascular issues and complications encountered in patients undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT), providing essential guidance for managing cardiac health in this specialized patient population.
A comprehensive guide detailing cardiovascular complications and damage induced by cancer therapies, including mechanisms of cardiovascular damage induced by traditional chemotherapy.
A clinical practice manual dedicated to the field of cardio-oncology, designed to be used as a specialized companion resource to Braunwald’s Heart Disease.
