Abstract
Abstract The presentation will discuss the potential cardiovascular toxicities (e.g., heart failure, coronary artery disease, arrhythmias) that are seen in women with breast cancer with a particular focus on those receiving cancer therapy. It will discuss the associated drugs, timing, the severity, and treatment options. The presentation will also include strategies that could be considered for risk stratification of patients prior to initiation of cancer therapy, methods to identify early cardiovascular injury, and primary prevention options. Recent guidelines including the ESC cardio-oncology guidelines and the prior ASCO guidelines will be highlighted. Practical approaches to assessment and management of cardiovascular toxicities will also be discussed. The presentation will wrap up providing potential future directions in the field.
