1.   Learn about cancer therapies and their potential cardiovascular effects

2.   Identify patients at risk for cardiotoxicity

3.   Review current guidelines for treating cardiotoxicity and discuss strategies for preventing cardiovascular complications

4.   Discuss a multidisciplinary approach to the care of cardio-oncology patients

Toxicity that affects the heart

Cancer therapy related disturbance in myocardial and/or vascular function *   myocyte injury

*   impaired myocardial energetics/metabolism

*   endothelial injury/thrombosis

*   altered vascular smooth muscle cell function

*   pericardial/valvular injury

18,500 new cancer diagnoses/year *  2,250 new breast CA/year

*  650 new lymphoma/year

Primary Prevention

High risk patient for cancer therapy related cardiomyopathy  

High risk patient for cancer therapy related ischemia  

High risk for arrhythmia  

Known cardiovascular disease requiring optimization prior to cancer therapy  

Secondary Prevention

Suspected heart failure or cardiomyopathy/LV dysfunction on surveillance imaging  

Myocardial infarction or ischemia during adjuvant therapy  

Worsening and uncontrolled hypertension related to cancer therapy  

Arrhythmia management  

Pericardial disease - restrictive or constrictive cardiomyopathy  

2015 CJC Position statement in preparation

•   MANTICORE – primary prevention RCT (perindopril vs. bisoprolol vs. placebo)

•   TITAN – primary prevention RCT – risk factor modulation + exercise vs. routine care

•   CAPRI – Provincial prospective registry of cancer patients at risk for cardiotoxicity

•   Current treatments in breast cancer have improved survival but increased risk of HF

•   Both systemic and targeted therapies can cause myocyte cell damage and apoptosis

•   Cardiotoxicity associated with worse outcomes but may respond to early treatment

•   More study needed on mechanisms, screening and prevention
