摘要: This paper focuses on three classes of commonly used anticancer drugs, which can cause cardiotoxicity: anthracyclines, monoclonal antibodies exemplified by trastuzumab and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Anthracyclines induce cardiomyocyte necrosis fibrosis. Trastuzumab cardiac stunning. The inhibitors increase systemic arterial pressure impair myocyte contractility. In addition, radiation therapy to the mediastinum or left chest exacerbate cardiotoxicity these drugs also accelerated atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, heart failure arrhythmias. Left ventricular ejection fraction measurements are most assess function in patients who receive chemo- radiation-therapy. However, echocardiographic determinations global longitudinal strain more sensitive for detection early systolic dysfunction. Information patient-risk stratification monitoring is presented guideli...
