Abstract
Developments in anticancer chemotherapeutic drugs have improved the prognosis for patients with a number of malignancies. Anticancer drugs are associated with a range of cardiovascular toxicities, which can occur due to direct cardiotoxic effects and to overlap between cellular pathways involved in cancer cell growth and pathways required for healthy cell signalling. Cardiovascular complications related to anticancer chemotherapy drugs have increased in parallel with improved cancer survival and include hypertension, myocardial dysfunction, heart failure, myocardial ischaemia, and thromboembolism. Cardiovascular specialists and oncologists are now working more closely through an evolving discipline known as Cardiovascular-Oncology, with an aim to prevent, detect early, and promptly manage cardiovascular complications that can occur during and/or after treatment with anticancer chemotherapy drugs.
