Abstract

Recent advances in the detection and treatment of cancer have led to a vast improvement in cancer survival, but this comes at the cost of adverse cardiovascular effects. Toxicities associated with cancer therapies include heart failure (HF) and cardiomyopathy. Although the pathophysiology and mechanism of cancer therapy-mediated cardiotoxicity is well described, the management strategies for the prevention and treatment of HF in these patients are not clearly defined. In this article, we discuss the definitions, pathophysiology, mechanisms, imaging, prevention, and treatment of HF in cancer patients.
