Cardiovascular considerations BEFORE cancer therapy🫀
The first of a 3 part
#JACCCardioOnc Expert Panel series exploring CV care before, during, & after cancer therapy.
🫀Goals of CV evaluation Prior to cancer therapy:
📍Identify and treat subclinical CVD and cardiovascular risk factors
📍Optimize management of pre-existing CVD and cardiovascular risk factors
📍Perform targeted risk assessment to help inform cancer treatment decisions
📍Establish baseline cardiovascular function
📍Optimize primary prevention therapies
📍Plan cardiovascular surveillance during treatment
🫀Current tools include clinical assessment, biomarkers, 12-lead ECG,
#EchoFirst, & risk scores
🫀Important evidence gaps includes cardiotoxicity mechanisms, impact of pre-treatment CV evaluations on clinical outcomes, validation&implementation of risk scores, & the role of AI.
