Cardiovascular Toxicity and Therapeutic Modalities Targeting Cardio-Oncology: From Basic Research to Advanced Study analyzes the emerging the field of cardio-oncology, reviewing recent advancements in the field, discussing how to monitor and treat cancer survivors for cardiotoxicity, and identifying potential cardiac side effects in novel cancer therapies. By adopting a translational approach, the book first comprehensively covers the basic science, mechanisms and concepts, which is followed by advanced state-of-art of cardio-oncology. Other sections cover tyrosine kinase inhibitors, Anthracyclines, and biomarkers in cardiotoxicity induced by chemotherapeutic drugs, noninvasive cardiovascular imaging techniques, radiotherapy induced cardiovascular, and more.
Anti-cancer treatment is associated with serious cardiovascular adverse events, including arterial and pulmonary hypertension, supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, systolic and diastolic cardiac dysfunction and coronary artery disease. Progress in cancer therapy over the past decades improved long-term survival but increased cancer therapy-related cardiotoxicity. Both traditional chemotherapeutic agents and newer therapies have demonstrated profound cardiovascular toxicities. It is important to understand the mechanisms of these toxicities to establish strategies for the prevention and management of complications-arrhythmias, heart failure, and even death.

"...a multi-authored reference text on cardiovascular toxicity and therapeutic modalities targeting cardio-oncology [by] national and international thought leaders in their respective fields . This book gives a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the basics of the cardiovascular system, cardiovascular diseases in cancer survivors, recent trends in cancer immunotherapy, cardiotoxic effects of various chemo- radiotherapeutic modalities, and biomarkers involved in such cardiotoxicities [with] an overview of topics such as hemopoietic stem cell transplant, stroke risk in cancer patients, cardiovascular imaging, and cardiac rehabilitation . This book is a valuable resource The authors have done the utmost justice in providing high-quality content." --©Doody s Review Service, 2023, Aditya Nitin Thakkar, MD (East Tennessee State University Quillen College of Medicine)
