Abstract
Objective: to present data on available modern methods of diagnosis of subclinical cardiovascular toxicity of chemotherapy. Modern strategies of treatment of cancer allow to stable remission and increase life expectancy of patients, the success of which is balanced by increased mortality of cancer patients due to the development of side effects of chemotherapy, the most prognostically significant of which are cardiovascular complications. Early diagnosis of cardiovascular toxicity in cancer patients is a “new” priority for collaboration of oncologists and cardiologists, as the development or progression of an already existing heart disease has a significant impact on the duration and quality of life of cancer patients. This review, at the current level of development of medical science, presents methods of diagnosis and monitoring of subclinical cardiovascular toxicity against the background of chemotherapy. Use for the diagnosis of subclinical cardiotoxicity such modern methods of visualization as two- and three-dimensional echocardiography, echocardiography with the definition of global longitudinal deformation of the myocardium - spectrum-tracking echocardiography, myocardial work, magnetic resonance tomography, definition of diastolic dysfunction allows to identify manifestations of cardiovascular toxicity in earlier terms, thereby affecting the prognosis and quality of life in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy treatment.
