Abstract
Drug-induced cardiotoxicity (DICT) is a leading cause of drug trial failure and discontinuation. Current drug annotations for cardiotoxicity largely focus on individual outcomes or mechanisms. Considering the broad spectrum of adverse cardiac events, we developed Drug-Induced Cardiotoxicity Rank (DICTrank) using FDA labeling and comprehensively classified 1318 human drugs into four categories: Most-DICT-Concern (n = 341), Less-DICT-Concern (n = 528), No-DICT-Concern (n = 343), and Ambiguous-DICT-Concern (n = 106). Notably, DICTrank covers diverse therapeutic categories, of which several were enriched with Most-DICT-Concern drugs, such as antineoplastic agents, sex hormones, anti-inflammatory drugs, beta-blockers, and cardiac therapy. DICTrank currently presents the largest drug list of DICT annotation, and it could contribute to the development of new approach methods, including AI models for early identification of DICT risk during drug development and beyond.

Recent Perspectives on Cardiovascular Toxicity Associated with Colorectal Cancer Drug Therapy. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:1441. [PMID: 37895912 PMCID: PMC10610064 DOI: 10.3390/ph16101441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Cardiotoxicity is a well-known adverse effect of cancer-related therapy that has a significant influence on patient outcomes and quality of life. The use of antineoplastic drugs to treat colorectal cancers (CRCs) is associated with a number of undesirable side effects including cardiac complications. For both sexes, CRC ranks second and accounts for four out of every ten cancer deaths. According to the reports, almost 39% of patients with colorectal cancer who underwent first-line chemotherapy suffered cardiovascular impairment. Although 5-fluorouracil is still the backbone of chemotherapy regimen for colorectal, gastric, and breast cancers, cardiotoxicity caused by 5-fluorouracil might affect anywhere from 1.5% to 18% of patients. The precise mechanisms underlying cardiotoxicity associated with CRC treatment are complex and may involve the modulation of various signaling pathways crucial for maintaining cardiac health including TKI ErbB2 or NRG-1, VEGF, PDGF, BRAF/Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK, and the PI3/ERK/AMPK/mTOR pathway, resulting in oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and apoptosis, ultimately damaging cardiac tissue. Thus, the identification and management of cardiotoxicity associated with CRC drug therapy while minimizing the negative impact have become increasingly important. The purpose of this review is to catalog the potential cardiotoxicities caused by anticancer drugs and targeted therapy used to treat colorectal cancer as well as strategies focused on early diagnosing, prevention, and treatment of cardiotoxicity associated with anticancer drugs used in CRC therapy.

Abstract
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive breast cancer (HER2+ BC) is an aggressive tumor type, accounting for 15% to 20% of the approximately 300,000 new BC cases in the United States each year. The goal of this review is to discuss the evolving landscape of therapies for HER2+ metastatic BC (mBC). Targeted therapies that have been the standard of care (SOC) for HER2+ mBC for almost a decade have greatly improved patient outcomes. The SOC for the first-line treatment of HER2+ mBC continues to be HER2-targeted monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) + a taxane, but recent updates in the second-line setting favor use of a newer HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), trastuzumab deruxtecan, versus the prior SOC ADC, trastuzumab emtansine. Numerous options are now available in the third line and beyond, including tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) regimens, newer mAbs, and other ADCs. The optimal course of treatment for individual patients can be guided by location of metastases, prior therapies, concomitant biomarkers, and monitoring and management of adverse events. Ongoing trials will further the evolution of the HER2+ mBC treatment landscape. Furthermore, next-generation ADCs, TKIs, and classes of drugs that have not been approved for the treatment of HER2+ mBC, including immune checkpoint inhibitors and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitors, are also being evaluated for their efficacy in the first and second line. Although the influx of new drugs may complicate treatment decisions for physicians, having a multitude of options will undoubtedly further improve patient outcomes and patient-centered care.

Abstract
Necroptosis, which is distinct from apoptosis and necrosis, serves a crucial role in ontogeny and the maintenance of homeostasis. In the last decade, it has been demonstrated that the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases is also linked to necroptosis. Receptor interaction protein kinase (RIPK) 1, RIPK3 and mixed lineage kinase domain‑like protein serve vital roles in necroptosis. In addition to the aforementioned necroptosis‑related components, calcium/calmodulin‑dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) has been identified as a novel substrate for RIPK3 that promotes the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), and thus, mediates necroptosis of myocardial cells through the RIPK3‑CaMKII‑mPTP signaling pathway. The present review provides an overview of the current knowledge of the RIPK3‑CaMKII‑mPTP‑mediated necroptosis signaling pathway in cardiovascular diseases, focusing on the role of the RIPK3‑CaMKII‑mPTP signaling pathway in acute myocardial infarction, ischemia‑reperfusion injury, heart failure, abdominal aortic aneurysm, atherosclerosis, diabetic cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation, and the cardiotoxicity associated with antitumor drugs and other chemicals. Finally, the present review discusses the research status of drugs targeting the RIPK3‑CaMKII‑mPTP signaling pathway.

J Clin Med 2023; 12:6295. [PMID: 37834939 PMCID: PMC10573256 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12196295] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 09/16/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This review focuses on multimodality imaging of cardiotoxicity in cancer patients, with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness of different techniques in detecting and monitoring cardiac changes associated with cancer therapy. METHODS Eight studies were included in the review, covering various imaging modalities such as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, echocardiography, and multigated acquisition scanning. RESULTS Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging emerged as the most definitive modality, offering real-time detection, comprehensive assessment of cardiac function, the ability to detect early myocardial changes, and superior detection of cardiotoxicity when compared to the other imaging modalities. The studies also emphasize the importance of parameters such as left ventricular ejection fraction and global longitudinal strain in assessing cardiac function and predicting cardiotoxicity. CONCLUSION Due to the common use of HER2 agents and anthracyclines within the breast cancer population, the LVEF as a critical prognostic measurement for assessing heart health and estimating the severity of left-sided cardiac malfunction is a commonly used endpoint. CTRCD rates differed between imaging modalities, with cardiac MRI the most sensitive. The use of multimodal cardiac imaging remains a nuanced area, influenced by local availability, the clinical question at hand, body habits, and medical comorbidities. All of the imaging modalities listed have a role to play in current care; however, focus should be given to increasing the provision of cardiac MRI for breast cancer patients in the future to optimize the detection of CTRCD and patient outcomes thereafter.

Value of Echocardiography and Cardiac Magnetic resonance in assessing left ventricular function in breast and gastric cancer patients after Anthracycline Chemotherapy. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2023; 23:465. [PMID: 37715125 PMCID: PMC10504696 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-023-03495-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Echocardiography (ECHO) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used to observe changes in the left ventricular structure in patients with breast and gastric cancer after 6 cycles of chemotherapy. Based on the observed values, we aimed to evaluate the cardiotoxicity of anthracyclines in cancer patients and to analyze the consistency of the two examination methods in assessing left ventricular function after chemotherapy. METHODS From January 2020 to January 2022, the data of 80 patients with malignant tumors who received anthracycline chemotherapy (breast cancer, n = 40; gastric cancer, n = 40) and 40 healthy volunteers (Control group) were retrospectively collected. Serum high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) levels were detected by an automatic immunoassay analyzer. Left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were measured by cardiac MRI and 2-dimensional ECHO using the biplane Simpson's method. RESULTS Compared with baseline values, serum high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) levels were significantly increased in patients with breast cancer and gastric cancer after 6 cycles of chemotherapy (P < 0.05). In addition, LVEDV, LVESV and LVEF measured with MRI were higher than those detected by ECHO in cancer patients after 6 cycles of chemotherapy (P < 0.05). And the Bland-Altman plot analysis showed that LVEDV, LVESV and LVEF measured by the two examination methods were in good agreement. CONCLUSION Breast and gastric cancer patients exhibited elevated levels of hs-cTnT after 6 cycles of chemotherapy, indicating potential cardiotoxicity. Additionally, cardiac MRI and 2-dimensional ECHO showed good agreement in assessing left ventricular function, with ECHO tending to underestimate volume measurements compared to MRI.

Abstract
Survivorship issues and treatment related toxicities have considerably increased in breast cancer patients following improved therapeutic options. Cardiotoxicity has been a major treatment related side effects in these patients. Despite this being a well-known entity, the real magnitude of the problem remains an enigma. The amount of research in mitigation of cardiotoxicity or its management in breast cancer survivors is limited and there is an urgent need for finding solutions for the problem. In this article, we are reviewing the agents that cause cardiotoxicity and suggesting a proposal for follow up of breast cancer survivors in an attempt to reduce the magnitude of impact on their quality of life.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the potential of nebivolol in preventing doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by targeting the inflammatory, oxidative, and apoptotic pathways. Twenty-eight male rats were randomly divided into four groups, each consisting of seven rats. The control group received standard diets and unrestricted access to water. The rats in the normal saline (N/S) group were administered a 0.9% normal saline solution for two weeks. The doxorubicin group (the "induced group") received doxorubicin at a dosage of 2.5 mg/kg three times per week for two weeks. The nebivolol group received an oral dose of 4 mg/kg of nebivolol for the same duration. The cardiac tissues of rats treated with doxorubicin exhibited increased levels of tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-1, malondialdehyde, and caspase-3 compared to the normal saline control group (p<0.05), along with decreased levels of total antioxidant capacity and Bcl-2. These results show that doxorubicin is harmful to the heart. The administration of nebivolol significantly reduced the cardiotoxic effects induced by doxorubicin, as indicated by a statistically significant decrease in the levels of inflammatory markers, specifically tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) (p<0.05). The nebivolol group exhibited a significant decrease in malondialdehyde levels, which serves as a signal of oxidation, in cardiac tissue compared to the doxorubicin-only group (p<0.05). Additionally, the nebivolol group showed a significant increase in overall antioxidant capacity. Nebivolol dramatically attenuated doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in rats, likely by interfering with oxidative stress, the inflammatory response, and the apoptotic pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arrhythmias are one manifestation of the cardiotoxicity that results from doxorubicin (Doxo) administration. Although cardiotoxicity is an anticipated outcome in anticancer therapies, there is still a lack of treatment options available for its effective management. This study sought to evaluate the possible cardioprotective effect of complex d-limonene (DL) plus hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HβDL) during treatment with Doxo, focusing on the arrhythmic feature. METHODS Cardiotoxicity was induced in Swiss mice with Doxo 20 mg/kg, with 10 mg/kg of HβDL being administered 30 min before the Doxo. Plasma CK-MB and LDH levels were analyzed. Cellular excitability and susceptibility to cardiac and cardiomyocyte arrhythmias were evaluated using in vivo (pharmacological cardiac stress) and in vitro (burst pacing) ECG protocols. Ca2+ dynamics were also investigated. The expression of CaMKII and its activation by phosphorylation and oxidation were evaluated by western blot, and molecular docking was used to analyze the possible interaction between DL and CaMKII. RESULTS Electrocardiograms showed that administration of 10 mg/kg of HβDL prevented Doxo-induced widening of the QRS complex and QT interval. HβDL also prevented cardiomyocyte electrophysiological changes that trigger cellular arrhythmias, such as increases in action potential duration and variability; decreased the occurrence of delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs) and triggered activities (TAs), and reduced the incidence of arrhythmia in vivo. Ca2+ waves and CaMKII overactivation caused by phosphorylation and oxidation were also decreased. In the in silico study, DL showed potential inhibitory interaction with CaMKII. CONCLUSION Our results show that 10 mg/kg of βDL protects the heart against Doxo-induced cardiotoxicity arrhythmias, and that this is probably due to its inhibitory effect on CaMKII hyperactivation.

Clonal Hematopoiesis as a Molecular Risk Factor for Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity: A Proof-of-Concept Study. JCO Precis Oncol 2023; 7:e2300208. [PMID: 37738545 PMCID: PMC10581654 DOI: 10.1200/po.23.00208] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The main dose-limiting toxicity of anthracyclines is cardiotoxicity. Clonal hematopoiesis (CH), somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells in patients without hematologic malignancy, is also associated with risk for adverse cardiovascular events and worse outcomes overall. We hypothesize that CH increases risk for doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study in patients treated with doxorubicin for cancer (N = 100). Patients (n = 25) had incident symptomatic heart failure, decline in left ventricular ejection fraction, or arrhythmia. CH was identified using paired peripheral blood and tumor DNA. RESULTS After adjusting for age at doxorubicin initiation, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and chest radiation, high cumulative dose of doxorubicin (>240 mg/m2; odds ratio [OR], 7.00; 95% CI, 1.77 to 27.74; P = .0056), CH (OR, 8.58; 95% CI, 2.05 to 35.99; P = .0033), and history of smoking (OR, 3.15; 95% CI, 1.00 to 9.93; P = .0495) were associated with DIC. CONCLUSION This study provides preliminary evidence for CH as a predictive risk factor for DIC, which, with further investigation, could serve as an important precision medicine biomarker for the large number of patients with cancer who have CH.

[PMID: 37765020 PMCID: PMC10534320 DOI: 10.3390/ph16091212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Doxorubicin, a widely used chemotherapeutic drug in clinical oncology, causes a series of cardiac side effects referred to as doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Hyperhomocysteinaemia is an independent risk factor for multiple cardiovascular diseases. However, whether hyperhomocysteinaemia contributes to doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity is currently unknown. In this study, we explored the pathogenic effects of hyperhomocysteinaemia induced by dietary methionine supplementation (2% wt/wt in rodent chow) in a mouse model of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Our data showed that methionine supplementation doubled serum homocysteine levels, inducing mild hyperhomocysteinaemia. Doxorubicin at a cumulative dosage of 25 mg/kg body weight led to significant weight loss and severe cardiac dysfunction, which were further exacerbated by methionine-induced mild hyperhomocysteinaemia. Doxorubicin-induced cardiac atrophy, cytoplasmic vacuolisation, myofibrillar disarray and loss, as well as cardiac fibrosis, were also exacerbated by methionine-induced mild hyperhomocysteinaemia. Additional folic acid supplementation (0.006% wt/wt) prevented methionine-induced hyperhomocysteinaemia and inhibited hyperhomocysteinaemia-aggravated cardiac dysfunction and cardiomyopathy. In particular, hyperhomocysteinaemia increased both serum and cardiac oxidative stress, which could all be inhibited by folic acid supplementation. Therefore, we demonstrated for the first time that hyperhomocysteinaemia could exacerbate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in mice, and the pathogenic effects of hyperhomocysteinaemia might at least partially correlate with increased oxidative stress and could be prevented by folic acid supplementation. Our study provides preliminary experimental evidence for the assessment of hyperhomocysteinaemia as a potential risk factor for chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity in cancer patients.

Abstract
Radiation-associated cardiovascular disease, an increasingly recognised disease process, is a significant adverse effect of radiation therapy for common malignancies that involve the chest, and include lymphomas, lung, mediastinal and breast cancers. Two factors contribute to the increasing incidence of radiation-associated cardiovascular disease: advances in malignancy detection and the improved survival of cancer patients, by which many symptoms of radiation-associated cardiovascular disease, specifically radiation-associated arrhythmias, present years and/or decades following initial radiotherapy. We present a focused overview of the currently understood pathophysiology, prevalence and management strategies of radiation-associated arrhythmias, which include bradyarrhythmias, tachyarrhythmias and autonomic dysfunction.

[PMID: 37606650 DOI: 10.1007/s00246-023-03275-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023]
Abstract
Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a sensitive predictor of cardiotoxicity in adults with cancer. However, the significance of abnormal GLS during childhood cancer treatment is less well-understood. The objective was to evaluate the use of GLS for predicting later cardiac dysfunction in pediatric cancer survivors exposed to high-dose anthracyclines. This was a retrospective study of pediatric patients exposed to a doxorubicin isotoxic equivalent dose of ≥ 225 mg/m2. Transthoracic echocardiograms (TTE) were obtained prior to chemotherapy (T1), during anthracycline therapy (T2), and following completion of therapy (T3). Cardiotoxicity was defined as meeting at least one of the following criteria after anthracycline therapy: a decrease in left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) by 10% from baseline to a value < 55%, fractional shortening < 28%, or a decrease in GLS by ≥ 15% from baseline. Nineteen of 57 (33%) patients met criteria for cardiotoxicity at T3. Cardiotoxicity was associated with a lower LVEF at T2 (p = 0.0003) and a decrease in GLS by ≥ 15% at T2 compared to baseline (p = < 0.0001). ROC analysis revealed that the best predictor of cardiotoxicity at T3 was the percent change in GLS at T2 compared to baseline (AUC 0.87). A subgroup analysis revealed that a decrease in GLS by ≥ 15% from baseline at 0-6 months from completion of anthracycline therapy was associated with cardiotoxicity > 1-year post-treatment (p = 0.017). A decline in GLS during chemotherapy was the best predictor of cardiotoxicity post-treatment. GLS serves as an important marker of cardiac function in pediatric patients undergoing treatment with anthracyclines.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an extensively used chemotherapeutic agent that can cause severe and frequent cardiotoxicity, which limits its clinical application. Although there have been extensive researches on the cardiotoxicity caused by DOX, there is still a lack of effective treatment. It is necessary to understand the molecular mechanism of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and search for new therapeutic targets which do not sacrifice their anticancer effects. Mitochondria are considered to be the main target of cardiotoxicity caused by DOX. The imbalance of mitochondrial dynamics characterized by increased mitochondrial fission and inhibited mitochondrial fusion is often reported in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, which can result in excessive ROS production, energy metabolism disorders, cell apoptosis, and various other problems. Also, mitochondrial dynamics disorder is related to tumorigenesis. Surprisingly, recent studies show that targeting mitochondrial dynamics proteins such as DRP1 and MFN2 can not only defend against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity but also enhance or not impair the anticancer effect. Herein, we summarize mitochondrial dynamics disorder in DOX-induced cardiac injury. Furthermore, we provide an overview of current pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions targeting proteins involved in mitochondrial dynamics to alleviate cardiac damage caused by DOX.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US)-triggered cascade amplification of nanotherapies has attracted considerable attention as an effective strategy for cancer treatment. With the remarkable advances in materials chemistry and nanotechnology, a large number of well-designed nanosystems have emerged that incorporate presupposed cascade amplification processes and can be activated to trigger therapies such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and ferroptosis, under exogenous US stimulation or specific substances generated by US actuation, to maximize antitumor efficacy and minimize detrimental effects. Therefore, summarizing the corresponding nanotherapies and applications based on US-triggered cascade amplification is essential. This review comprehensively summarizes and highlights the recent advances in the design of intelligent modalities, consisting of unique components, distinctive properties, and specific cascade processes. These ingenious strategies confer unparalleled potential to nanotherapies based on ultrasound-triggered cascade amplification and provide superior controllability, thus overcoming the unmet requirements of precision medicine and personalized treatment. Finally, the challenges and prospects of this emerging strategy are discussed and it is expected to encourage more innovative ideas and promote their further development.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The article aims to investigate the complex relationship between cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD), with a focus on the effects of cancer treatment on cardiac health. RECENT FINDINGS Advances in cancer treatment have improved long-term survival rates, but CVD has emerged as a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. The interplay between cancer itself, treatment methods, homeostatic changes, and lifestyle modifications contributes to this comorbidity. Recent research in the field of cardio-oncology has revealed common genetic mutations, risk factors, and metabolic features associated with the co-occurrence of cancer and CVD. This article provides a comprehensive review of the latest research in cardio-oncology, including common genetic mutations, risk factors, and metabolic features, and explores the interactions between cancer treatment and CVD drugs, proposing novel approaches for the management of cancer and CVD.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity has been widely observed, yet the specific impact on cardiac fibroblasts is not fully understood. Additionally, the modulation of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway by DOX remains to be fully elucidated. This study investigated DOX's ability to modulate the expression of genes and proteins involved in the TGF-β signaling cascade in mouse fibroblasts from two sources by assessing the impact of DOX treatment on TGF-β inducible expression of pivotal genes and proteins within fibroblasts. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (NIH3T3) and mouse primary cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) were treated with DOX in the presence of TGF-β1 to assess changes in protein levels by western blot and changes in mRNA levels by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Our results revealed a dose-dependent reduction in cellular communication network factor 2 (CCN2) protein levels upon DOX treatment in both NIH3T3 and CFs. Moreover, we observed that DOX inhibited the TGF-β1 induced expression of BMP1 in NIH3T3 cells, while BMP1 levels remained high in CFs, and that TGF-β1 induces the phosphorylation of SMAD2 in both NIH3T3 cells and CFs. While DOX treatment diminished the extent of phosphorylation, the reduction did not reach statistical significance. DOX also inhibited the TGF-β1 induced expression of COL1 in NIH3T3 cells and CFs. Finally, DOX inhibited the TGF-β1 induced expression of Atf4 and increased the expression of Cdkn1a, Id1, Id2, Runx1, Tgfb1, Inhba, Thbs1, Bmp1, and Stat1 in NIH3T3 cells but not CFs, indicating the potential for cell-specific responses to DOX and its modulation of the TGF-β signaling pathway. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of the ability of DOX to modulate gene expression and signaling pathways in fibroblasts holds promise for future development of targeted therapeutic strategies to mitigate DOX-induced cardiotoxicity specifically affecting CFs.

Abstract
Being a broad-spectrum anticancer drug, doxorubicin is indispensable for clinical treatment. Unexpectedly, its cardiotoxic side effects have proven to be a formidable obstacle. Numerous studies are currently devoted to elucidating the pathological mechanisms underlying doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Nrf2 has always played a crucial role in oxidative stress, but numerous studies have demonstrated that it also plays a vital part in pathological mechanisms like cell death and inflammation. Numerous studies on the pathological mechanisms associated with doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity demonstrate this. Several clinical drugs, natural and synthetic compounds, as well as small molecule RNAs have been demonstrated to prevent doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by activating Nrf2. Consequently, this study emphasizes the introduction of Nrf2, discusses the role of Nrf2 in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, and concludes with a summary of the therapeutic modalities targeting Nrf2 to ameliorate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, highlighting the potential value of Nrf2 in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Background Cardiotoxicity, produced as an adverse effect of anticancer therapy, is a common issue during cancer treatment. Acute coronary syndrome, myocarditis, arrhythmias, or heart failure can all be symptoms of this issue. Little is known about its occurrence among Saudi Arabian cancer patients. This study aims to investigate factors linked to anticancer therapy-related cardiotoxicity. Methods A retrospective study was conducted from April 2020 to May 2022 at the King Khalid Hospital, Najran, Saudi Arabia. The study included adult cancer patients receiving anticancer therapy, regardless of their cardiovascular disease history. Univariate analysis was used to investigate factors associated with the occurrence of cardiotoxicity related to anticancer therapy. Results Of 78 patients receiving anticancer therapy, cardiotoxicity occurred in 12 (15.4%) patients. The mean age was 56.5 ± 13.4 years, with 33.3% aged over 65 years. Comorbidities included hypertension (44; 56.4%), diabetes (41; 52.6%), dyslipidemia (13; 16.7%), smoking (16; 20.5%), heart disease (6; 7.7%), trastuzumab use (9; 11.5%), and chronic kidney disease (2; 2.6%). The most common cancers were breast cancer and gastrointestinal cancer (27.6% each). Monoclonal anticancer agents 35 (46.1%) and alkylating agents 29 (38.2%) were commonly used chemotherapies. Cardiac protective agents were used in 16 (21.1%) of patients, with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors 15 (19.7%) and statins (13; 17.1%) being the most prescribed. Baseline ejection fraction (EF) was normal in 69 (90.8%) of cases. The follow-up duration was 1.93 ± 1.90 years. A drop in EF occurred in five (6.6%) of cases. Dyslipidemia (OR: 0.12; 95% CI: 0.03-0.47, p=0.002), previous heart disease (OR: 0.14; 95% CI: 0.02-0.81, p=0.029), and impaired baseline EF (p=0.029) were associated with increased risk of cardiotoxicity. Statin (OR: 0.22; 95% CI: 0.05 to 0.84, p=0.028) and antiplatelet agents (OR: 0.19; 95% CI: 0.03 to 1.01, p=0.051) were protective agents against cardiac toxicity. Conclusion Effective anti-cancer therapy may be accompanied by an increased risk of cardiotoxicity. In this study, a history of prior heart disease, dyslipidemia, low baseline ejection fraction, and the administration of multiple anticancer therapy agents was associated with cardiotoxicity. Proactive management strategies aimed at mitigating the potential cardiotoxic effects of anti-cancer therapies are crucial.

Variability of cardiac troponin levels in normal subjects and in patients with cardiovascular diseases: analytical considerations and clinical relevance. Clin Chem Lab Med 2023; 61:1209-1229. [PMID: 36695506 DOI: 10.1515/cclm-2022-1285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
In accordance with all the most recent international guidelines, the variation of circulating levels of cardiac troponins I and T, measured with high-sensitivity methods (hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT), should be used for the detection of acute myocardial injury. Recent experimental and clinical evidences have demonstrated that the evaluation of hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT variations is particularly relevant: a) for the differential diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) in patients admitted to the Emergency Department (ED); b) for the evaluation of cardiovascular risk in patients undergoing major cardiac or non-cardiac surgery, and in asymptomatic subjects of the general population aged >55 years and with co-morbidities; c) for the evaluation of cardiotoxicity caused by administration of some chemotherapy drugs in patients with malignant tumors. The aim of this document is to discuss the fundamental statistical and biological considerations on the intraindividual variability of hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT over time in the same individual. Firstly, it will be discussed in detail as the variations of circulating levels strictly depend not only on the analytical error of the method used but also on the intra-individual variability of the biomarker. Afterwards, the pathophysiological interpretation and the clinical relevance of the determination of the variability of the hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT values in patients with specific clinical conditions are discussed. Finally, the evaluation over time of the variation in circulating levels of hs-cTnI and hs-cTnT is proposed for a more accurate estimation of cardiovascular risk in asymptomatic subjects from the general population.

Abstract
Patients diagnosed with cancer are less frequently covered by preventive measures for cardiovascular diseases. The frequent co-occurrence of these diseases makes it necessary to apply parallel diagnostics and cardiological treatment with anti-cancer therapy. Frequently. multidisciplinary team discussions are needed. Case report: We present a case of a 73-year-old former smoker with hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes, and arterial hypertension, after a partial right nephrectomy in 2005 due to kidney cancer, diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection in April 2022. Subsequent chest imaging showed a 20 mm focal lesion in the left lung further classified as a small-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. Unexpectedly, the patient was hospitalized due to ST-segment elevation inferior left ventricular (LV) myocardial infarction. It was treated successfully with percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PCI) of the circumflex and first marginal artery with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. One day later, PCI of the left anterior artery was performed with two DES implantation; however, heart failure (HF) with a reduced left ventricle ejection fraction of 30% was diagnosed. One month later, the patient required hospitalization again due to HF decompensation, and cardiological treatment was optimized with flozin in addition to standard HF therapy. Subsequently, after cardiological approval the patient qualified for chemotherapy with the cisplatin-etoposide regimen. Therapy was continued for 6 months without HF decompensation and significant deterioration in renal function. After that, the patient underwent radical radiotherapy. Follow-up chest computed tomography scans showed regression of the neoplastic lesion. Conclusions: The coincidence of newly recognized cancer and inflammatory disease might contribute to and provoke serious cardiological events. To reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications, periodic cardiological surveillance and optimal pharmacotherapy are required.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity induced by breast cancer therapies is a potentially serious complication associated with the use of various breast cancer therapies. Prediction and better management of cardiotoxicity in patients receiving chemotherapy is of critical importance. However, the management of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) lacks clinical evidence and is based on limited clinical studies. AIM To provide an overview of existing and potentially novel biomarkers that possess a promising predictive value for the early and late onset of CTRCD in the clinical setting. METHODS A systematic review of published studies searching for promising biomarkers for the prediction of CTRCD in patients with breast cancer was undertaken according to PRISMA guidelines. A search strategy was performed using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus for the period 2013-2023. All subjects were >18 years old, diagnosed with breast cancer, and received breast cancer therapies. RESULTS The most promising biomarkers that can be used for the development of an alternative risk cardiac stratification plan for the prediction and/or early detection of CTRCD in patients with breast cancer were identified. CONCLUSIONS We highlighted the new insights associated with the use of currently available biomarkers as a standard of care for the management of CTRCD and identified potentially novel clinical biomarkers that could be further investigated as promising predictors of CTRCD.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the risk of sarcopenia on the length of hospital stay and deaths in preoperative cancer patients as well its relation to physical and functional capacity. METHODS Preoperative patients admitted to the Cancer Hospital of Mato Grosso comprised the sample. Sociodemographic data, lifestyle data, and a questionnaire for sarcopenia screening were collected. Subsequently, total body mass, height, muscle strength, muscle mass, and physical performance were evaluated. The primary, secondary and tertiary outcomes were sarcopenia, length of stay and death, respectively. The data were tabulated and analyzed using the statistical software SPSS (25.0). The significance level was 5%. RESULTS We observed 12 (7.4%) patients with low muscle strength, 20 (12.3%) patients with low muscle mass, 11 (6.8%) patients with low physical performance, and 18 (11.1%) patients with scores for possible sarcopenia. When the risk of sarcopenia was observed, 44 (27.2%) patients had at least one risk related to muscle disorder. When analyzing the prevalence and association of sarcopenia with sociodemographic variables, we observed that education level was associated with sarcopenia (p = 0.031). In addition, there was an association between preoperative sarcopenia and postoperative death (p = 0.006). Finally, there were important correlations between muscle strength and physical performance (p < 0.05), between muscle strength and the sarcopenia questionnaire (p < 0.001), and between physical performance and the sarcopenia questionnaire (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The results suggest the need for counseling and the need to evaluate patients for risk of sarcopenia, since early intervention, such as dietary supplementation and physical exercise, may favor a better postoperative prognosis, possibly corresponding to shorter hospital stays and longer survival and quality of life for patients, especially those who will undergo surgical procedures.

Abstract
Cancer represents one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Conventional clinical treatments include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. However, these treatments have inherent limitations, such as multidrug resistance and the induction of short- and long-term multiple organ damage, ultimately leading to a significant decrease in cancer survivors' quality of life and life expectancy. Paeonol, a nature active compound derived from the root bark of the medicinal plant Paeonia suffruticosa, exhibits various pharmacological activities. Extensive research has demonstrated that paeonol exhibits substantial anticancer effects in various cancer, both in vitro and in vivo. Its underlying mechanisms involve the induction of apoptosis, the inhibition of cell proliferation, invasion and migration, angiogenesis, cell cycle arrest, autophagy, regulating tumor immunity and enhanced radiosensitivity, as well as the modulation of multiple signaling pathways, such as the PI3K/AKT and NF-κB signaling pathways. Additionally, paeonol can prevent adverse effects on the heart, liver, and kidneys induced by anticancer therapy. Despite numerous studies exploring paeonol's therapeutic potential in cancer, no specific reviews have been conducted. Therefore, this review provides a systematic summary and analysis of paeonol's anticancer effects, prevention of side effects, and the underlying mechanisms involved. This review aims to establish a theoretical basis for the adjunctive strategy of paeonol in cancer treatment, ultimately improving the survival rate and enhancing the quality of life for cancer patients.

Abstract
Introduction: In the last few decades, there has been a rapid development in cancer therapies and improved detection strategies, hence the death rates caused by cancer have decreased. However, it has been reported that cardiovascular disease has become the second leading cause of long-term morbidity and fatality among cancer survivors. Cardiotoxicity from anticancer drugs affects the heart's function and structure and can occur during any stage of the cancer treatments, which leads to the development of cardiovascular disease. Objectives: To investigate the association between anticancer drugs for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and cardiotoxicity as to whether: different classes of anticancer drugs demonstrate different cardiotoxicity potentials; different dosages of the same drug in initial treatment affect the degree of cardiotoxicity; and accumulated dosage and/or duration of treatments affect the degree of cardiotoxicity. Methods: This systematic review included studies involving patients over 18 years old with NSCLC and excluded studies in which patients' treatments involve radiotherapy only. Electronic databases and registers including Cochrane Library, National Cancer Institute (NCI) Database, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov and the European Union Clinical Trials Register were systematically searched from the earliest available date up until November 2020. A full version protocol of this systematic review (CRD42020191760) had been published on PROSPERO. Results: A total of 1785 records were identified using specific search terms through the databases and registers; 74 eligible studies were included for data extraction. Based on data extracted from the included studies, anticancer drugs for NSCLC that are associated with cardiovascular events include bevacizumab, carboplatin, cisplatin, crizotinib, docetaxel, erlotinib, gemcitabine and paclitaxel. Hypertension was the most reported cardiotoxicity as 30 studies documented this cardiovascular adverse event. Other reported treatment-related cardiotoxicities include arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, cardiac arrest, cardiac failure, coronary artery disease, heart failure, ischemia, left ventricular dysfunction, myocardial infarction, palpitations, and tachycardia. Conclusion: The findings of this systematic review have provided a better understanding of the possible association between cardiotoxicities and anticancer drugs for NSCLC. Whilst variation is observed across different drug classes, the lack of information available on cardiac monitoring can result in underestimation of this association.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Patients with cancer are at risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) including atherosclerotic heart disease (AHD), valvular heart disease (VHD), and atrial fibrillation (AF). Advances in percutaneous catheter-based treatments, including percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for AHD, percutaneous valve replacement or repair for VHD, and ablation and left atrial appendage occlusion devices (LAAODs) for AF, have provided patients with CVD significant benefit in the recent decades. However, trials and registries investigating outcomes of these procedures often exclude patients with cancer. As a result, patients with cancer are less likely to undergo these therapies despite their benefits. Despite the inclusion of cancer patients in randomized clinical trial data, studies suggest that cancer patients derive similar benefits of percutaneous therapies for CVD compared with patients without cancer. Therefore, percutaneous interventions for CVD should not be withheld in patients with cancer, as they may still benefit from these procedures.

Abstract
Background Anthracycline chemotherapies cause heart failure in a subset of cancer patients. We previously reported that the anthracycline doxorubicin (DOX) induces cardiotoxicity through the activation of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2). Objectives The aim of this study was to determine whether retinoblastoma-like 2 (RBL2/p130), an emerging CDK2 inhibitor, regulates anthracycline sensitivity in the heart. Methods Rbl2-/- mice and Rbl2+/+ littermates received DOX (5 mg/kg/wk for 4 weeks intraperitoneally, 20 mg/kg cumulative). Heart function was monitored with echocardiography. The association of RBL2 genetic variants with anthracycline cardiomyopathy was evaluated in the SJLIFE (St. Jude Lifetime Cohort Study) and CPNDS (Canadian Pharmacogenomics Network for Drug Safety) studies. Results The loss of endogenous Rbl2 increased basal CDK2 activity in the mouse heart. Mice lacking Rbl2 were more sensitive to DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, as evidenced by rapid deterioration of heart function and loss of heart mass. The disruption of Rbl2 exacerbated DOX-induced mitochondrial damage and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Mechanistically, Rbl2 deficiency enhanced CDK2-dependent activation of forkhead box O1 (FOXO1), leading to up-regulation of the proapoptotic protein Bim. The inhibition of CDK2 desensitized Rbl2-depleted cardiomyocytes to DOX. In wild-type cardiomyocytes, DOX exposure induced Rbl2 expression in a FOXO1-dependent manner. Importantly, the rs17800727 G allele of the human RBL2 gene was associated with reduced anthracycline cardiotoxicity in childhood cancer survivors. Conclusions Rbl2 is an endogenous CDK2 inhibitor in the heart and represses FOXO1-mediated proapoptotic gene expression. The loss of Rbl2 increases sensitivity to DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Our findings suggest that RBL2 could be used as a biomarker to predict the risk of cardiotoxicity before the initiation of anthracycline-based chemotherapy.

Brandão SR, Reis-Mendes A, Araújo MD, Neuparth MJ, Rocha H, Carvalho F, Ferreira R, Costa VM. Cardiac Molecular Remodeling by Anticancer Drugs: Doxorubicin Affects More Metabolism While Mitoxantrone Impacts More Autophagy in Adult CD-1 Male Mice. Biomolecules 2023; 13:921. [PMID: 37371499 PMCID: PMC10296231 DOI: 10.3390/biom13060921] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) and mitoxantrone (MTX) are classical chemotherapeutic agents used in cancer that induce similar clinical cardiotoxic effects, although it is not clear if they share similar underlying molecular mechanisms. We aimed to assess the effects of DOX and MTX on the cardiac remodeling, focusing mainly on metabolism and autophagy. Adult male CD-1 mice received pharmacologically relevant cumulative doses of DOX (18 mg/kg) and MTX (6 mg/kg). Both DOX and MTX disturbed cardiac metabolism, decreasing glycolysis, and increasing the dependency on fatty acids (FA) oxidation, namely, through decreased AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) content and decreased free carnitine (C0) and increased acetylcarnitine (C2) concentration. Additionally, DOX heavily influenced glycolysis, oxidative metabolism, and amino acids turnover by exclusively decreasing phosphofructokinase (PFKM) and electron transfer flavoprotein-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETFDH) content, and the concentration of several amino acids. Conversely, both drugs downregulated autophagy given by the decreased content of autophagy protein 5 (ATG5) and microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3B), with MTX having also an impact on Beclin1. These results emphasize that DOX and MTX modulate cardiac remodeling differently, despite their clinical similarities, which is of paramount importance for future treatments.

The impact of tumor characteristics on cardiovascular disease death in breast cancer patients with CT or RT: a population-based study. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1149633. [PMID: 37229229 PMCID: PMC10203988 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1149633] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Previous studies focused on the impact of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) risk factors in breast cancer patients with chemotherapy (CT) or radiotherapy (RT). This study aimed to identify the impact of tumor characteristics on CVD death in these patients. Methods Data of female breast cancer patients with CT or RT between 2004 and 2016 were included. The risk factors of CVD death were identified using Cox regression analyses. A nomogram was constructed to evaluate the predicted value of tumor characteristics, and then validated by the concordance indexes (C-index) and calibration curves. Result A total of 28,539 patients were included with an average follow-up of 6.1 years. Tumor size > 45 mm (adjusted HR = 1.431, 95% CI = 1.116-1.836, P = 0.005), regional (adjusted HR = 1.278, 95% CI = 1.048-1.560, P = 0.015) and distant stage (adjusted HR = 2.240, 95% CI = 1.444-3.474, P < 0.001) were risk factors of CVD death for breast cancer patients with CT or RT. The prediction nomogram of tumor characteristics (tumor size and stage) on CVD survival was established. The C-index of internal and external validation were 0.780 (95% Cl = 0.751-0.809), and 0.809 (95% Cl = 0.768-0.850), respectively. The calibration curves showed consistency between the actual observation and nomogram. The risk stratification was also significant distinction (P < 0.05). Conclusion Tumor size and stage were related to the risk of CVD death for breast cancer patients with CT or RT. The management of CVD death risk in breast cancer patients with CT or RT should focus not only on CVD risk factors but also on tumor size and stage.

Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 163:114819. [PMID: 37146416 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.114819] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2023] [Revised: 04/23/2023] [Accepted: 04/30/2023] [Indexed: 05/07/2023] Open
Abstract
This study explores the negative impact of cyclophosphamide (CP) on cardiac contractility by specifically examining its effect on the active and passive tension of the cardiac muscle in-vitro and revealing the mechanism through which CP induces myocardial insult in-vivo. In young male Sprague-Dawley rats, cardiac toxicity was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of CP (150 mg/kg body weight). Axial heart tissue slices were electrically stimulated, and the total isometric contraction force was measured at varying pretension levels. Blood and tissue biochemical assays, and histological/ immuno-histological assessments were conducted to evaluate the underlying molecular mechanisms. Statistical analysis shows that there is a significant difference between the drugged and the control groups in terms of the active tension values. Moreover, the pre-tension stress significantly affects both the active and passive tension values. CP altered heart, body, and heart-to-body weight, desolated cardiac muscle architecture, surged cardiac enzymes (CK-MB, LDH, and cTn l), augmented myocardial oxidative stressors (MDA), and weakened myocardial antioxidant status (SOD and GSH). Mechanistically, cyclophosphamide prompted the necroptotic trajectory evidenced by the activation of RIPK1, RIPK3, MLKL and TRPM7, the inhibition of caspase 8 and BCL2 and the upregulation of the protein/mRNA expression of TNF-α and TNFR1. This study identifies necroptosis as a key factor in cyclophosphamide-evoked myocardial contractility impairment, highlighting its potential as a target for alleviating antitumor-related myocardial damage. This innovative approach to investigating the underlying mechanisms of CP-induced cardiac toxicity offers valuable insights into the potential of developing new therapies to mitigate cyclophosphamide's negative impact.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the most frequent cause of death in women. Doxorubicin, an anthracycline, is an important drug due to its efficacy in treating solid cancers, especially breast cancer. However, this drug is often responsible for cardiotoxicity that may affect more than 25% of patients. This study aimed to evaluate the red cell distribution width (RDW) in women with breast cancer to monitor adverse events associated with the use of doxorubicin. A prospective study of 80 women with breast malignancy undergoing neoadjuvant doxorubicin-based chemotherapy was conducted. The patients were evaluated at baseline (T0), just after the last cycle of chemotherapy with doxorubicin (T1), and 1 year after the treatment (T2). There was a significant increase over the time points for the RDW (p < 0.001). There was a negative correlation between the RDW and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels at T1. The RDW did not show a significant difference between the groups classified according to cardiotoxicity. Based on these results, the RDW is a cost-effective test that shows a relationship with the doxorubicin response, but not with cardiotoxicity. It is a potential biomarker to evaluate patients with breast cancer after they receive chemotherapy with doxorubicin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the cardiotoxic effect of anthracycline on the left ventricle (LV) was totally identified. The assessment of the anthracycline effect on the right ventricle(RV) by conventional echocardiography was a challenge due to its complex geometry. We aimed to evaluate the impact of anthracycline on the RV volume and function using 3 dimensional -echocardiography (3DE) and 2 dimensional -speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) in patients with breast cancer. METHODS This prospective study was conducted on 66 female patients with breast cancer receiving anthracycline chemotherapy, in addition to full echocardiography, 2D-STE and 3DE evaluation of RV function and volume were done at baseline, after 4th cycle of chemotherapy, six and nine months after the end of chemotherapy. RESULTS Cardiotoxicity from anthracycline occurred in 18 patients whose LV ejection fraction became significantly reduced after 9 months of therapy according to that, the patients were divided into the non-cardiotoxic group (n:48) and the cardiotoxic group (n:18). At cardiotoxic group, 3D RV end-systolic volume, and 3D RV end-diastolic volume increased significantly at 6 months and continued till 9 months after the therapy end compared to baseline values (42.50 ± 5.98 vs. 50.44 ± 7.01, p = 0.005) and (86.78 ± 9.16 vs. 95.78 ± 9.23, p = 0.021).LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) showed a significant reduction early after 6 months of therapy, 2D GLS and free wall longitudinal strain (FWLS) of RV were significantly decreased at 6 months and continued till 9 months after therapy (-22.54 ± 0.79 vs. -19.53 ± 1.32, p = 0.001) and (-24.67 ± 1.27vs. -22.22 ± 1.41, p = 0.001) respectively. The variation of RV FWLS was a predictor of cardiotoxicity, the relative drop of RV FWLS > 19.3% had 83% sensitivity and 71% specificity, (AUC = 0.82) to identify patients who developed cardiotoxicity. CONCLUSION 3DE is a promising modality in recognizing the early changes in RV volumes and minute alteration in RV function and 2D-STE is a reliable predictor of RV systolic dysfunction which identify the subclinical affliction.

Abstract
PURPOSE Despite clear evidence-based supporting a benefit to exercise on physical and psychological metrics in patients with cancer, recruitment to exercise trials amongst cancer survivors is suboptimal. We explore current recruitment rates, strategies, and common barriers to participation in exercise oncology trials in cancer survivorship. METHODS A systematic review was conducted using a pre-defined search strategy in EMBASE, CINAHL, Medline, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. The search was performed up to 28/02/2022. Screening of titles and abstracts, full-text review, and data extraction was completed in duplicate. RESULTS Of the 3204 identified studies, 87 papers corresponding to 86 trials were included. Recruitment rates were highly variable with a median rate of 38% (range 0.52-100%). Trials recruiting prostate cancer patients only had the highest median recruitment rate (45.9%) vs trials recruiting colorectal cancer patients only which had the lowest (31.25%). Active recruitment strategies such as direct recruitment via a healthcare professional were associated with higher recruitment rates (rho = 0.201, p = 0.064). Common reasons for non-participation included lack of interest (46.51%, n (number of studies) = 40); distance and transport (45.3%, n = 39); and failure to contact (44.2%, n = 38). CONCLUSIONS Recruitment of cancer survivors to exercise interventions is suboptimal with barriers being predominantly patient-oriented. This paper provides the benchmark for current recruitment rates to exercise oncology trials, providing data for trialists planning future trial design and implementation, optimise future recruitment strategies, and evaluate their own recruitment success against current practice. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS Enhanced recruitment to cancer survivorship exercise trials is necessary in facilitating the publication of definitive exercise guidelines, generalisable to varying cancer cohorts.

Abstract
In pharmaceutical treatment, many non-cardiac drugs carry the risk of prolonging the QT interval, which can lead to fatal cardiac complications such as torsades de points (TdP). Although the unexpected blockade of ion channels has been widely considered to be one of the main reasons for affecting the repolarization phase of the cardiac action potential and leading to QT interval prolongation, the lack of knowledge regarding chemical structures in drugs that may induce the prolongation of the QT interval remains a barrier to further understanding the underlying mechanism and developing an effective prediction strategy. In this study, we thoroughly investigated the differences in chemical structures between QT-prolonging drugs and drugs with no drug-induced QT prolongation (DIQT) concerns, based on the Drug-Induced QT Prolongation Atlas (DIQTA) dataset. Three categories of structural alerts (SAs), namely amines, ethers, and aromatic compounds, appeared in large quantities in QT-prolonging drugs, but rarely in drugs with no DIQT concerns, indicating a close association between SAs and the risk of DIQT. Moreover, using the molecular descriptors associated with these three categories of SAs as features, the structure–activity relationship (SAR) model for predicting the high risk of inducing QT interval prolongation of marketed drugs achieved recall rates of 72.5% and 80.0% for the DIQTA dataset and the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) dataset, respectively. Our findings may promote a better understanding of the mechanism of DIQT and facilitate research on cardiac adverse drug reactions in drug development.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cardiovascular disease accounts for up to 10% of all-cause mortality in women with a diagnosis of breast cancer, and the causes for this are multifaceted. Many women at risk of or with a diagnosis of breast cancer are on endocrine-modulating therapies. It is therefore important to understand the effect of hormone therapies on cardiovascular outcomes in breast cancer patients to mitigate against any adverse effects and to identify those most at risk so that they can be proactively managed. Here we discuss the pathophysiology of these agents, their effect on the cardiovascular system, and the latest evidence on their cardiovascular risks association. RECENT FINDINGS Tamoxifen appears to be cardioprotective during treatment but not over the longer term, while the effect of AIs on cardiovascular outcomes remains controversial. Heart failure outcomes remain understudied, and the cardiovascular effects of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonists (GNRHa) in women need further research, especially since data from men with prostate cancer have indicated an increased risk of cardiac events in GNRHa users. There remains a need for a greater understanding of the effects of hormone therapies on cardiovascular outcomes in breast cancer patients. Further areas of research in this area include developing evidence to better define the optimal preventive and screening methods for cardiovascular effects and the risk factors for patients on hormonal therapies.

Abstract
PURPOSE Up to one third of patients with cancer are thought to experience adverse cardiovascular events after their cancer diagnosis and treatment. High-quality information about cancer treatment-related cardiovascular disease can prepare patients and reduce anxiety. The aim of this project was to systematically identify Australian online information resources about cardiovascular health after cancer and assess the readability, understandability, actionability, and cultural relevance for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients. METHODS We conducted systematic Google and website searches to identify potentially relevant resources. Eligibility was assessed using predefined criteria. For each eligible resource, we summarized the content and assessed readability, understandability, actionability, and cultural relevance for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. RESULTS Seventeen online resources addressing cardiovascular health after cancer were identified: three focused solely on cardiovascular health and the remaining 14 dedicated between <1% and 48% of the word count to this topic. On average, three of 12 predefined content areas were covered by the resources. Only one resource was considered comprehensive, covering eight of 12 content areas. Overall, 18% of the resources were deemed readable for the average Australian adult, 41% deemed understandable, and only 24% had moderate actionability. None of the resources were considered culturally relevant for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, with 41% addressing only one of the seven possible criteria and the remainder addressing none of the criteria. CONCLUSION This audit confirms a gap in online information resources about cardiovascular health after cancer. New resources, especially for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, are needed. The development of such resources must be done through involvement and collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients, families, and carers, through a codesign process.

Abstract
While biomarkers have been proposed to identify individuals at risk for radiation-induced cardiovascular disease (RICVD), little is known about long-term associations with cardiac events. We examined associations of biomarkers of oxidative stress (myeloperoxidase, growth differentiation factor-15, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine [8-OH-dG], placental growth factor), cardiac injury (troponin I, cystatin-C), inflammation (interleukin-6, C-reactive protein), and myocardial fibrosis (transforming growth factor-ß) with long-term RICVD in breast cancer (BC) survivors. We conducted a nested case-control study within the Women's Health Initiative of postmenopausal women with incident BC stages I-III, who received radiation and had pre- and post-BC diagnosis serum samples. Cases (n = 55) were defined as developing incident, physician-adjudicated myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease death, other CVD death, heart failure, or stroke after BC. Cases were matched to three controls (n = 158). After adjustment, a higher 8-OH-dG ratio was significantly associated with an elevated long-term risk of RICVD, suggesting oxidative DNA damage may be a putative pathway for RICVD.

Redefining the Incidence and Profile of Fluoropyrimidine-Associated Cardiotoxicity in Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:ph16040510. [PMID: 37111268 PMCID: PMC10146083 DOI: 10.3390/ph16040510] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 04/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Aim: The cardiac toxicity that occurs during administration of anti-tumor agents has attracted increasing concern. Fluoropyrimidines have been used for more than half a century, but their cardiotoxicity has not been well clarified. In this study, we aimed to assess the incidence and profile of fluoropyrimidine-associated cardiotoxicity (FAC) comprehensively based on literature data. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, Embase, Medline, Web of Science, and Cochrane library databases and clinical trials on studies investigating FAC. The main outcome was a pooled incidence of FAC, and the secondary outcome was specific treatment-related cardiac AEs. Random or fixed effects modeling was used for pooled meta-analyses according to the heterogeneity assessment. PROSPERO registration number: (CRD42021282155). Results: A total of 211 studies involving 63,186 patients were included, covering 31 countries or regions in the world. The pooled incidence of FAC, by meta-analytic, was 5.04% for all grades and 1.5% for grade 3 or higher. A total of 0.29% of patients died due to severe cardiotoxicities. More than 38 cardiac AEs were identified, with cardiac ischemia (2.24%) and arrhythmia (1.85%) being the most frequent. We further performed the subgroup analyses and meta-regression to explore the source of heterogeneity, and compare the cardiotoxicity among different study-level characteristics, finding that the incidence of FAC varied significantly among different publication decades, country/regions, and genders. Patients with esophagus cancer had the highest risk of FAC (10.53%), while breast cancer patients had the lowest (3.66%). The treatment attribute, regimen, and dosage were significantly related to FAC. When compared with chemotherapeutic drugs or targeted agents, such a risk was remarkably increased (χ2 = 10.15, p < 0.01; χ2 = 10.77, p < 0.01). The continuous 5-FU infusion for 3–5 consecutive days with a high dosage produced the highest FAC incidence (7.3%) compared with other low-dose administration patterns. Conclusions: Our study provides comprehensive global data on the incidence and profile of FAC. Different cancer types and treatment appear to have varying cardiotoxicities. Combination therapy, high cumulative dose, addition of anthracyclines, and pre-existing heart disease potentially increase the risk of FAC.

Abstract
Despite advances in chemotherapy, the drugs used in cancer treatment remain rather harmful to the cardiovascular system, causing structural and functional cardiotoxic changes. Positron-emission tomography associated with computed tomography (PET/CT) has emerged like a promising technique in the early diagnosis of these adverse drug effects as the myocardial tissue uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose labeled with fluorine-18 (18F-FDG), a glucose analog, is increased after their use. Among these drugs, anthracyclines are the most frequently associated with cardiotoxicity because they promote heart damage through DNA breaks, and induction of an oxidative, proinflammatory, and toxic environment. This review aimed to present the scientific evidence available so far regarding the use of 18F-FDG PET/CT as an early biomarker of anthracycline-related cardiotoxicity. Thus, it discusses the physiological basis for its uptake, hypotheses to justify its increase in the myocardium affected by anthracyclines, importance of 18F-FDG PET/CT findings for cardio-oncology, and primary challenges of incorporating this technique in standard clinical oncology practice.

Abstract
Primary cardiac tumors are extremely uncommon and primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is an even rarer subset. A definite diagnosis can be delayed, which increases the likelihood of a poor prognosis. We report a case involving a 64-year-old male who presented with dyspnea, palpitation, and third-degree atrioventricular block (AVB) secondary to primary cardiac B-cell lymphoma that was diagnosed via endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) and multimodality imaging. Chemotherapy was initiated using rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vindesine, and prednisone (R-COP) followed by implantation of an artificial capsule pacemaker. Third-degree AVB vanished, and the subsequent cycle of treatment was adjusted as R-CDOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin liposome, vindesine, and prednisone), with aspirin and rosavastatin to prevent ischemic events. So far, the patient had a good clinical course and normal electrocardiogram. This case underscores the importance of EMB in the diagnosis of heart neoplasms. It is worth noting that anthracycline is not contraindicated in PCL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The long-term risk of incident atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) among cancer patients remains incompletely defined. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term ASCVD risk in cancer patients compared with the non-cancer population. METHODS This was a prospective population-based study using data from the Kailuan cohort, 6,204 individuals with newly diagnosed cancer, free of ASCVD, were matched in a 1:1 ratio to non-cancer controls for age (±1) and sex, from June 2006 to December 2020. Multivariable competing risk analyses were performed to evaluate the association between cancer diagnosis and risk of incident ASCVD events (including myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, heart failure, and revascularization with coronary artery bypass graft surgery or percutaneous coronary intervention). RESULTS During a median follow-up of 5.3 (1.7, 9.7) years, 1,019 incident ASCVD events were observed. Compared to participants without cancer, there was a similar risk for incident ASCVD events among cancer patients within the first few years after cancer diagnosis, and the risk declined over time. Overall, cancer patients showed lower risks of incident ASCVD compared to the non-cancer patients over the long term, with a hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) of 0.52 (0.45-0.60) for composite ASCVD events, 0.43 (0.35-0.53) for ischemic stroke, 0.63 (0.42-0.95) for myocardial infarction, 0.63 (0.48-0.83) for heart failure, and 0.82 (0.60-1.11) for coronary revascularization. Baseline level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, blood pressure, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein could independently predict the incident ASCVD among the study population. Subgroup analyses according to cancer types revealed a significantly lower risk of ASCVD events among patients with digestive cancer or respiratory cancer compared with non-cancer controls, but not for urologic or genital cancer. Multiple sensitivity analyses yielded similar results to the primary analysis. CONCLUSIONS Long-term ASCVD risk among cancer survivors is not increased compared with the non-cancer individuals, probably driven by a favorable profile of baseline risk factor in cancer population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Heart failure (HF) due to cardiotoxicity is a leading non-cancer-related cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer survivors. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and reduces morbidity and mortality in patients with HF, but little is known about its effects on cardiotoxicity in the cancer population. The objective of this study was to determine whether participation in CR improves CRF in patients undergoing treatment with either doxorubicin or trastuzumab who exhibit markers of subclinical cardiotoxicity. METHODS Female patients with cancer (n = 28: breast, n = 1: leiomyosarcoma) and evidence of subclinical cardiotoxicity (ie, >10% relative decrease in global longitudinal strain or a cardiac troponin of >40 ng·L -1 ) were randomized to 10 wk of CR or usual care. Exercise consisted of 3 d/wk of interval training at 60-90% of heart rate reserve. RESULTS Cardiorespiratory fitness, as measured by peak oxygen uptake (V˙ o2peak ), improved in the CR group (16.9 + 5.0 to 18.5 + 6.0 mL∙kg -1 ∙min -1 ) while it decreased in the usual care group (17.9 + 3.9 to 16.9 + 4.0 mL∙kg -1 ∙min -1 ) ( P = .009). No changes were observed between groups with respect to high-sensitivity troponin or global longitudinal strain. CONCLUSION This study suggests that the use of CR may be a viable option to attenuate the reduction in CRF that occurs in patients undergoing cardiotoxic chemotherapy. The long-term effects of exercise on chemotherapy-induced HF warrant further investigation.

Abstract
Nowadays, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a global threat to public health, accounting for almost one-third of all deaths worldwide. One of the key mechanistic pathways contributing to the development of CVDs, including cardiotoxicity (CTX) and myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is oxidative stress (OS). Increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is closely associated with decreased antioxidant capacity and mitochondrial dysfunction. Currently, despite the availability of modern pharmaceuticals, dietary-derived antioxidants are becoming more popular in developed societies to delay the progression of CVDs. One of the antioxidants derived from herbs, fruits, whole grains, juices, beers, and wines is vanillic acid (VA), which, as a phenolic compound, possesses different therapeutic properties, including cardioprotective. Based on experimental evidence, VA improves mitochondrial function as a result of the reduction in ROS production, aggravates antioxidative status, scavenges free radicals, and reduces levels of lipid peroxidation, thereby decreasing cardiac dysfunction, in particular CTX and MIRI. Considering the role of OS in the pathophysiology of CVDs, the purpose of this study is to comprehensively address recent evidence on the antioxidant importance of VA in the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Following significant advancements in cancer therapeutics and survival, the risk of cancer therapy-related cardiotoxicity (CTRC) is increasingly recognized. With ongoing efforts to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in cancer patients and survivors, cardiac biomarkers have been studied for both risk stratification and monitoring during and after therapy to detect subclinical disease. This article will review the utility for biomarker use throughout the cancer care continuum. RECENT FINDINGS A recent meta-analysis shows utility for troponin in monitoring patients at risk for CTRC during cancer therapy. The role for natriuretic peptides is less clear but may be useful in patients receiving proteasome inhibitors. Early studies explore use of myeloperoxidase, growth differentiation factor 15, galectin 3, micro-RNA, and others as novel biomarkers in CTRC. Biomarkers have potential to identify subclinical CTRC and may reveal opportunities for early intervention. Further research is needed to elucidate optimal biomarkers and surveillance strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients treated with anthracyclines and trastuzumab are at increased risk of developing heart failure. Early diagnosis and treatment may prevent irreversible left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. This study investigates whether subclinical deterioration of global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a more reliable early predictor for LV dysfunction than three-dimensional (3D) LV ejection fraction (LVEF). METHODS Adult patients receiving anthracyclines and trastuzumab for breast cancer who had serial echocardiographic follow-up were included in this retrospective study. The primary endpoint was the necessity to temporarily pause chemo- or immunotherapy due to declining LVEF (decline in 3D LVEF of > 10 percentage points to < 53%). Linear mixed-effects models were used to assess the longitudinal evolution of 3D LVEF and GLS over time. RESULTS Fifty-one women were included, mean age 54 (50.5-57.6) years, with a total of 216 follow-up echocardiograms (mean follow-up 1.1 ± 0.45 years). GLS and 3D LVEF were significantly correlated (Spearman's rho: -0.36, p < 0.001). A decrease in GLS significantly predicted a lower LVEF on the subsequent echocardiogram [ß -0.6, 95% confidence interval (CI) (-1.0 to -0.2), p < 0.006]. Conversely, prior LVEF did not significantly predict GLS on the subsequent echocardiogram [ß -0.04, 95% CI -0.1 to -0.01, p = 0.12]. Nine patients reached the primary endpoint. On average, patients who reached the primary endpoint had a relative decrease of 15% GLS at day 205 and an absolute 10% decrease of LVEF to LVEF < 53% at day 235. DISCUSSION GLS is able to identify subclinical LV dysfunction earlier than 3D LVEF measurement in women undergoing treatment for breast cancer with anthracyclines followed by trastuzumab.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer and ischemic heart disease are the leading causes of mortality. The optimal management for patients with concomitant acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and cancer remains challenging. OBJECTIVE To evaluate in-hospital and 1-year adverse outcomes in cancer patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to treat AMI. METHODS This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study, patients with cancer admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University for AMI and discharged between January 2015 and June 2020 were analyzed. The outcomes were all-cause mortality at 1-year follow up and incidence of in-hospital adverse events, including arrhythmias, heart failure, major bleeding, stroke, and all-cause death. RESULTS A total of 119 patients were included, of these, 68 (57.1%) received PCI (PCI group) and 51 (42.9%) did not (non-PCI group). Patients in the PCI group had a lower incidence of in-hospital arrhythmias (22.1 vs. 39.2%; p = 0.042), major bleeding (2.9 vs. 15.7%; p = 0.013), and all-cause mortality (1.5 vs. 11.8%; p = 0.018) than those in non-PCI group. On 1-year follow-up, the PCI group had a lower all-cause mortality than the non-PCI group (log-rank test = 14.65; p < 0.001). Multivariable Cox regression showed that PCI is an independent protective factor (adjusted HR = 0.503 [0.243-0.947], p = 0.045) for cancer patients who have concomitant AMI. CONCLUSION Cancer patients receiving PCI for AMI had a lower risk of in-hospital adverse events and mortality as well as 1-year all-cause mortality compared to those who refused PCI. Our study therefore supports the use of PCI to improve prognosis of this selected group of patients.

Berberine Alleviates Doxorubicin-Induced Myocardial Injury and Fibrosis by Eliminating Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Damage via Promoting Nrf-2 Pathway Activation. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24043257. [PMID: 36834687 PMCID: PMC9966753 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24043257] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 02/03/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX)-related cardiotoxicity has been recognized as a serious complication of cancer chemotherapy. Effective targeted strategies for myocardial protection in addition to DOX treatment are urgently needed. The purpose of this paper was to determine the therapeutic effect of berberine (Ber) on DOX-triggered cardiomyopathy and explore the underlying mechanism. Our data showed that Ber markedly prevented cardiac diastolic dysfunction and fibrosis, reduced cardiac malondialdehyde (MDA) level and increased antioxidant superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in DOX-treated rats. Moreover, Ber effectively rescued the DOX-induced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and MDA, mitochondrial morphological damage and membrane potential loss in neonatal rat cardiac myocytes and fibroblasts. This effect was mediated by increases in the nuclear accumulation of nuclear erythroid factor 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and levels of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM). We also found that Ber suppressed the differentiation of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) into myofibroblasts, as indicated by decreased expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), collagen I and collagen III in DOX-treated CFs. Pretreatment with Ber inhibited ROS and MDA production and increased SOD activity and the mitochondrial membrane potential in DOX-challenged CFs. Further investigation indicated that the Nrf2 inhibitor trigonelline reversed the protective effect of Ber on both cardiomyocytes and CFs after DOX stimulation. Taken together, these findings demonstrated that Ber effectively alleviated DOX-induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage by activating the Nrf2-mediated pathway, thereby leading to the prevention of myocardial injury and fibrosis. The current study suggests that Ber is a potential therapeutic agent for DOX-induced cardiotoxicity that exerts its effects by activating Nrf2.

Safety and efficacy of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in patients with history of cancer. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY. HEART & VASCULATURE 2023; 44:101165. [PMID: 36820391 PMCID: PMC9938448 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcha.2022.101165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Background Surgical therapy has been a long-standing option for valvular heart disease, in patients with history of cancer, it carries an increased risk of complications. Objectives Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for mitral regurgitation, represents a less invasive option. However, patients with history of cancer have generally been excluded from trials. Methods A retrospective cohort analysis was performed on de-identified, aggregate patient data from the TriNetX research network. Patients 18 ≥ years of age, who had undergone TEER between January 1, 2013 and May 19, 2021, were identified using the CPT codes and divided into two cohorts based on a history of cancer. Subgroup analysis was performed based on history of systemic antineoplastic therapy. Odds ratio and log-rank test were used to compare the outcomes over 1 and 12-months. Results In matched cohorts (503 patients in each, mean age 77.7 years, men 55 vs 58 %, white 84 vs 87 % in non-cancer and cancer cohorts respectively), the risk of heart failure exacerbation, all-cause mortality and all-cause hospitalizations were similar at 1 and 12 months among patients undergoing TEER. Risk of major complications (ischemic stroke, blood product transfusion and cardiac tamponade) were also similar. In the cancer cohort, hematologic/lymphoid malignancies were the most common (28.0 %) and 12.5 % patients had a history of metastatic cancer. There was no significant difference in heart failure exacerbation or all-cause mortality based on history of systemic antineoplastic therapy. Conclusions Overall outcomes following TEER are similar in patients with a history of cancer and should be considered in selected patients in this population.
