Abstract
Over the years, advancements in the field of oncology have made remarkable strides in enhancing the efficacy of medical care for patients with cancer. These modernizations have resulted in prolonged survival and improved the quality of life for these patients. However, this progress has also been accompanied by escalation in mortality rates associated with anthracycline chemotherapy. Anthracyclines, which are known for their potent antitumor properties, are notorious for their substantial cardiotoxic potential. Remarkably, even after six decades of research, a conclusive solution to protect the cardiovascular system against doxorubicin-induced damage has not yet been established. A comprehensive understanding of the pathophysiological processes driving cardiotoxicity combined with targeted research is crucial for developing innovative cardioprotective strategies. This review seeks to explain the mechanisms responsible for structural and functional alterations in doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy.
