Abstract
Antiblastic drugs-induced cardiomyopathy remains a relevant cause of morbidity and mortality, during and after chemotherapy, despite the progression in protective therapy against cardiovascular diseases and myocardial function. In the last few decades, many groups of researchers have focused their attention on studying the metabolic profile, first in animals, and, subsequently, in humans, looking for profiles which could be able to predict drug-induced cardiotoxicity and cardiovascular damage. In clinical practice, patients identified as being at risk of developing cardiotoxicity undergo a close follow-up and more tailored therapies. Injury to the heart can be a consequence of both new targeted therapies, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and conventional chemotherapeutic agents, such as anthracyclines. This review aims to describe all of the studies carried on this topic of growing interest.
