摘要: Increasing use of targeted anticancer agents that inhibit tyrosine kinase signaling (monoclonal antibodies or inhibitors) has dramatically improved the survival patients with malignancies. However, cardiotoxicity, including heart failure, left ventricular dysfunction, hypertension, myocardial infarction, and thromboembolism, occurred. Importantly, these cardiotoxicities are at least partially reversible responsive to medical management. Early recognition cardiovascular side effects is vital allow long-term, continuous therapy life-prolonging agents. This article reviews potential frequently used inhibitors activity (eg, trastuzumab, sunitinib) discusses diagnosis management cardiotoxicity associated therapy.
