| description | Cancer therapies have revolutionized patient survival rates, yet they come with the risk of cardiotoxicity, necessitating effective monitoring and management. The existing guidelines offer a limited empirical basis for practical approaches in various clinical scenarios. This article explores the intricate relationship between cancer therapy and the cardiovascular system, highlighting the role of advanced multimodality imaging in monitoring patients before, during, and after cancer treatment. This review outlines the cardiovascular effects of different cancer therapy classes, offering a comprehensive understanding of their dose- and time-dependent impacts. This paper delves into diverse imaging modalities such as echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, cardiac computed tomography, and nuclear imaging, detailing their strengths and limitations in various conditions due to cancer treatment, such as cardiac dysfunction, myocarditis, coronary artery disease, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, arterial hypertension, valvular heart diseases, and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Moreover, it underscores the significance of long-term follow-up for cancer survivors and discusses future directions. |
