Abstract
Cardiovascular effects of cancer therapies are of concern. Prediction, diagnosis, and management of cardiotoxicity is a challenge. Cardiovascular biomarkers are being studied in relationship to cancer therapy, showing promise in detection and prevention of cardiotoxicity. We summarize the use of biomarkers in cardio-oncology and presents recommendations for their use. Troponins and natriuretic peptides are the most commonly used biomarkers. High-quality evidence supporting their use is lacking. Biomarkers can be incorporated into a detection strategy for cardiotoxicity. Large, well-powered studies are needed to delineate care strategies using biomarkers in the prediction and management of the cardiovascular effects of cancer therapy.
