Abstract
Background Multiple myeloma is a hematologic malignancy characterized by its association with a range of cardiovascular comorbidities, most notably heart failure. Our study aims to investigate the impact of heart failure on individuals who are hospitalized for multiple myeloma. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, we assembled a cohort of patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) data from 2019 to 2020. Within this study population, patients were classified according to the presence or absence of heart failure as a secondary diagnosis, with further stratification into distinct groups such as heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The primary outcome studied was inpatient mortality. Secondary outcomes were length of stay, total hospitalization charges, acute respiratory failure, acute kidney injury, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and mechanical ventilation. Confounders were adjusted using multivariate regression analysis. Results Among the 38,735 patients admitted with multiple myeloma, 5.6% (2,195 patients) were diagnosed with HFpEF, while 3% (1,170 patients) had HFrEF. The mortality rate was significantly higher in HFpEF patients compared to HFrEF and non-heart failure individuals (aOR: 1.68, [CI: 1.17-2.43]; P = 0.005). Length of hospital stay did not differ between these two groups; however, total hospitalization charges were more significant in the presence of heart failure versus without heart failure (coefficient: 33597; CI: 1730-65463; P = 0.04; and coefficient: 26107; CI: 5414-46800; P = 0.01 for HFrEF and HFpEF, respectively). Similarly, a significant increase in the odds of acute respiratory failure, care at the ICU, and requirement for mechanical ventilation was observed in patients with both types of heart failure compared to those without heart failure. Conclusion HFpEF was associated with high mortality rates and greater incidence of acute kidney injury in multiple myeloma patients compared to those with HFrEF and non-heart failure counterparts. However, both heart failure subtypes were associated with heightened total hospitalization charges and the increased likelihood of encountering acute respiratory failure, admission to the ICU, and the utilization of mechanical ventilation compared to patients without heart failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Covid-19 is considered a primary respiratory disease-causing viral pneumonia and, in severe cases, leads to acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In addition, though, extra-pulmonary manifestations of Covid-19 have been shown. Furthermore, severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection may coexist with several malignancies, including multiple myeloma (MM). METHODS This critical literature review aimed to find the potential association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and MM in Covid-19 patients with underlying MM. Narrative literature and databases search revealed that ARDS is developed in both MM and Covid-19 due to hypercalcemia and proteasome dysfunction. RESULTS Notably, the expression of angiogenic factors and glutamine deficiency could link Covid-19 severity and MM in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular complications. MM and Covid-19 share thrombosis as a typical complication; unlike thrombosis in Covid-19, which reflects disease severity, thrombosis does not reflect disease severity in MM. In both conditions, thromboprophylaxis is essential to prevent pulmonary thrombosis and other thromboembolic disorders. Moreover, Covid-19 may exacerbate the development of acute kidney injury and neurological complications in MM patients. CONCLUSION These findings highlighted that MM patients might be a risk group for Covid-19 severity due to underlying immunosuppression and most of those patients need specific management in the Covid-19 era.

Abstract
The proportion of non-cancer death in patients with esophagus cancer (EC) still increasing, especially cardiovascular disease (CVD) related death. The aim of this study was assess non-cancer causes of death and identified independent risk factors of CVD related death in EC patients. Patients diagnosed with EC were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result database (SEER) database for analysis. Standardized mortality rates (SMRs) for non-EC deaths were calculated, the risk of death were assessed and compared with US general population. Multivariate competitive risk analysis were performed to select independent risk factors for death from CVD in EC patients. A total of 43739 EC patients were enrolled and 35139 died during follow-up, of which 4248 died from non-cancer cause of death. The risk of non-cancer death in EC patients was 2.27-fold higher than in the general population (SMR=2.27; 95% CI, 2.20-2.34). CVD were the most important cause of non-cancer death in EC patients, accounting for 43.4% of non-cancer of deaths. Compare with the general population, EC patients have higher risk of death from disease of heart (SMR, 2.24; 95% CI, 2.13-2.35), pneumonia and influenza (SMR, 2.92; 95% CI, 2.50-3.39), septicemia (SMR, 5.01; 95% CI, 4.30-5.79), along with other causes. Patients with advanced age and patients who received radiotherapy has higher risk of death caused by CVD, patients with female sex, poor differentiated and undifferentiated, regional and distant stage, married, diagnosed between 2010-2016 has lower risk of CVD related death, compared with patients without any treatment measures, patients received chemotherapy alone has lower risk of death from CVD. Non-cancer cause of death has become an important cause of death in EC patients. Improving public awareness of the major risk factors for non-cancer death is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of malignant tumors.

Abstract
Arrhythmias are a major cardiac complication reported among patients with multiple myeloma (MM), but these have not been further characterized in this population. We explored the prevalence of arrhythmias and examined the predictors of mortality among patients with MM with arrhythmias. The National Inpatient Sample data collected between 2016 and 2018 were used to conduct retrospective analyses. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were done to examine the predictors of mortality among patients with MM with arrhythmias. 16.9% of patients with MM reported a diagnosis of any arrhythmias and 70.7% of these were atrial fibrillation. Patients aged 70 years and above had 21% lower odds (adjusted OR (AOR): 0.79; 95% CI: 0.68 to 0.92) of inpatient mortality relative to younger patients. Those in the non-Hispanic black, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic other category were 1.38 (95% CI: 1.16 to 1.64), 1.53 (95% CI: 1.19 to 1.97), and 1.69 (95% CI: 1.29 to 2.21) times more likely to die during hospitalization compared with their counterparts who were non-Hispanic whites. Relative to patients with MM who were on Medicare, those on private (AOR: 1.28; 95% CI: 1.06 to 1.54) and other insurance types (AOR: 1.78; 95% CI: 1.23 to 2.58) had higher odds of mortality. Other predictors of inpatient mortality were elective admission (AOR: 0.67; 95% CI: 0.52 to 0.85) and Charlson comorbidity indices between 5-7 (AOR: 1.23; 95% CI: 1.07 to 1.41) and ≥8 (AOR: 1.45; 95% CI: 1.21 to 1.73) compared with comorbidity indices between 0 and 4. Our study adds to the body of knowledge on the need for proper diagnosis and management of cardiac arrhythmias in patients with MM. Research is needed to further assess the time of arrhythmia diagnosis and its impact on health outcomes among patients with MM.

Abstract
Introduction Multiple myeloma (MM) survival has greatly improved in recent decades. MM is usually diagnosed at a median age of 66-70 years. MM patients do not necessarily die from primary cancer, so cardiovascular health may be a key factor threatening long-term survival. This study was designed to explore the cardiovascular disease mortality (CVM) trends in MM patients and compare them with those in the general population. Methods In total, 88,328 MM patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (1975-2016) were included. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) were used to assess CVM risk. Results The CVM risk was significantly higher in MM patients than in the general population (SMR, 1.84 (95% CI, 1.78-1.89)). MM patients had the highest CVM SMR, at 2.62 (95% CI, 2.49-2.75), in the first year after diagnosis, and it decreased over the follow-up period. Over the study period, the incidence of CVM continued to decrease in MM patients diagnosed at age 65-74 (APC, -1.2% (95% CI, -1.9% to -0.4%)) and ⩾75 years (APC, -1.9% (95% CI, -2.6% to -1.2%)) but not younger. CVM was the second-most common cause of death in patients ⩾75 years. In only MM case analyses, male sex, Black race, older age at diagnosis, and earlier year of diagnosis were poor prognostic factors for heart-specific mortality. Conclusion The CVM risk in MM patients was significantly higher than that in the general population. To improve survival, cardiovascular health should receive attention upon diagnosis.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death among cancer survivors, second only to cancer recurrence or development of new tumors. Cardio-oncology has therefore emerged as a relatively new specialty focused on prevention and management of cardiovascular consequences of cancer therapies. Yet challenges remain regarding precision and accuracy with predicting individuals at highest risk for cardiotoxicity. Barriers such as access to care also limit screening and early diagnosis to improve prognosis. Thus, developing innovative approaches for prediction and early detection of cardiovascular illness in this population is critical. In this review, we provide an overview of the present state of machine learning applications in cardio-oncology. We begin by outlining some factors that should be considered while utilizing machine learning algorithms. We then examine research in which machine learning has been applied to improve prediction of cardiac dysfunction in cancer survivors. We also highlight the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in conjunction with electrocardiogram (ECG) to predict cardiac malfunction and also atrial fibrillation (AF), and we discuss the potential role of wearables. Additionally, the article summarizes future prospects and critical takeaways for the application of machine learning in cardio-oncology. This study is the first in a series on artificial intelligence in cardio-oncology, and complements our manuscript on echocardiography and other forms of imaging relevant to cancer survivors cared for in cardiology clinical practice.

Abstract
Background: Arrhythmias are common cardiovascular complications in multiple myeloma (MM) patients and are related to a poor prognosis. Objective: This study aimed to assess the burden of arrhythmias and their prognostic value in patients with MM. Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with MM between January 2015 and April 2020 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University. The incidence of arrhythmia and associated risk factors were evaluated. The relationship between the type of arrhythmia and survival was analyzed. Results: A total of 319 patients with MM were identified, and 48.0% (153/319) had arrhythmias. The most common type of arrhythmia was sinus tachycardia (ST) (15.0%, 48/319), followed by sinus bradycardia (SB) (14.4%, 46/319), premature atrial contractions (PACs) (6.3%, 20/319), conduction disorders (CDs) (6.0%, 19/319), atrial fibrillation (AF) (6.0%, 19/319), premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) (4.4%, 14/319) and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) (0.6%, 2/319). The patients with arrhythmias had higher levels of log NT-proBNP and creatinine, greater bortezomib use, and a higher incidence of diabetes than those without arrhythmias (P < 0.05). The all-cause mortality rates of patients without arrhythmias and those with AF, ST, PACs, CDs, SB, and PVCs were 50.6% (84/166), 73.7% (14/19), 60.4% (29/48), 60.0% (12/20), 52.6% (10/19), 34.8% (16/46), and 28.6% (4/14), respectively. In a subgroup analysis of patients experiencing different types of arrhythmias, patients with SB had lower all-cause mortality than patients with AF (P < 0.01). Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses showed that there was a positive statistically significant association between SB and survival (HR: 0.592 [0.352–0.998], P = 0.049) in a subgroup analysis of different arrhythmias. Conclusions: Patients with MM had a heavy arrhythmia burden, and in this study, approximately half of MM patients had arrhythmias. MM patients with SB were associated with lower all-cause mortality than those with AF. SB might be an independent positive factor for prognosis.

Abstract
Background: The prognosis of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) is variable and partly depends on their cardiovascular status. The presence of arrhythmias can lead to worse outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the potential of heart rate (HR) and hypertension in predicating the outcomes of MM patients. Methods: This study retrospectively enrolled patients with MM between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2018, at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University. The endpoint was all-cause mortality. The Pearson's chi-square test was used to assess the association between hypertension and outcomes. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were developed to evaluate the relationship between HR and all-cause mortality. Results: A total of 386 patients were included. The mean HR was 83.8 ± 23.1 beats per minute (bpm). Patients with HR >100 bpm had a higher all-cause mortality (79.4%, 50/63) than those with 60 ≤ HR ≤ 100 bpm (39.9%, 110/276) and <60 bpm (19.1%, 9/47) (p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis based on the International Staging System and sex revealed similar relationships (p < 0.01). When stratified by age, patients with HR >100 bpm had higher all-cause mortality than those with a lower HR when age was <65 years or 65-75 years (p < 0.001) but not >75 years. The proportion of patients with hypertension was 54.7% (211/386). However, hypertension was not associated with all-cause mortality in MM patients (χ2=1.729, p > 0.05). MM patients with HR >100 bpm had the highest all-cause mortality. Conclusions: The prognostic potential of HR may be useful in aiding risk stratification and promoting the management of these patients.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cancer, which are the leading causes of mortality globally, have been viewed as two distinct diseases. However, the fact that cancer and CVDs may coincide has been noted by cardiologists when taking care of patients with CVDs caused by cancer chemotherapy; this entity is designated cardio-oncology. More recently, patients with CVDs have also been found to have increased risk of cancers, termed reverse cardio-oncology. Although reverse cardio-oncology has been highlighted as an important disease state in recent studies, how the diseased heart affects cancer and the potential mediators of the crosstalk between CVDs and cancer are largely unknown. Here, we focus on the roles of cardiac-specific microRNA-208a (miR-208a) in cardiac and cancer biology and explore its essential roles in reverse cardio-oncology. Accumulating evidence has shown that within the heart, increased miR-208a promotes myocardial injury, arrhythmia, cardiac remodeling, and dysfunction and that secreted miR-208a in the circulation may have novel roles in promoting tumor proliferation and invasion. This review, therefore, provides insights into the novel roles of miR-208a in reverse cardio-oncology and strategies to prevent secondary carcinogenesis in patients with early- or late-stage heart failure.

Abstract
Recent advances in treatment have transformed the management of cancer. Despite these advances, cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of death in cancer survivors. Cardio-oncology has recently evolved as a subspecialty to prevent, diagnose, and manage cardiovascular side effects of antineoplastic therapy. An emphasis on optimal management of comorbidities and close attention to drug interactions are important in cardio-oncologic care. With interdisciplinary collaboration among oncologists, cardiologists, and pharmacists, there is potential to prevent and reduce drug-related toxicities of treatments. The cytochrome P450 (CYP450) family of enzymes and the P-glycoprotein (P-g) transporter play a crucial role in drug metabolism and drug resistance. Here we discuss the role of CYP450 and P-g in drug interactions in the field of cardio-oncology, provide an overview of the cardiotoxicity of a spectrum of cancer agents, highlight the role of precision medicine, and encourage a multidisciplinary treatment approach for patients with cancer.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma is a pathology of plasma cells, with one of the most common side effects of its treatment is heart failure. In addition, cardiac amyloidosis could cause heart failure by itself. Even though mechanisms of cardiac amyloidosis are known, and they involve lysosomal dysfunction, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, and infiltrative effect by fibrils, there is no specific agent that could protect from these effects. While the molecular mechanism of doxorubicin cardiotoxicity via topoisomerase II β is established, the only FDA-approved agent for treatment is dexrazoxane. Liposomal doxorubicin can potentially improve response and decrease the development of heart failure due to microscopic liposomes that can accumulate and penetrate only tumor vasculature. Supplements that enhance mitochondrial biogenesis are also shown to improve doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Other agents, such as JR-311, ICRF-193, and ursolic acid, could potentially become new treatment options. Proteasome inhibitors, novel agents, have significantly improved survival rates among multiple myeloma patients. They act on a proteasome system that is highly active in cardiomyocytes and activates various molecular cascades in malignant cells, as well as in the heart, through nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), endoplasmic reticulum (ER), calcineurin-nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT), and adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPKa)/autophagy pathways. Metformin, apremilast, and rutin have shown positive results in animal studies and may become a promising therapy as cardioprotective agents. This article aims to highlight the main molecular mechanisms of heart failure among patients with multiple myeloma and potential treatment options to facilitate the development and research of new preventive strategies. Hence, this will have a positive impact on life expectancy in patients with multiple myeloma.

Lercanidipine Synergistically Enhances Bortezomib Cytotoxicity in Cancer Cells via Enhanced Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Mitochondrial Ca 2+ Overload. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20246112.

Abstract
The proteasome inhibitor (PI), bortezomib (Btz), is effective in treating multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma, but not solid tumors. In this study, we show for the first time that lercanidipine (Ler), an antihypertensive drug, enhances the cytotoxicity of various PIs, including Btz, carfilzomib, and ixazomib, in many solid tumor cell lines by inducing paraptosis, which is accompanied by severe vacuolation derived from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria. We found that Ler potentiates Btz-mediated ER stress and ER dilation, possibly due to misfolded protein accumulation, in MDA-MB 435S cells. In addition, the combination of Btz and Ler triggers mitochondrial Ca2+ overload, critically contributing to mitochondrial dilation and subsequent paraptotic events, including mitochondrial membrane potential loss and ER dilation. Taken together, our results suggest that a combined regimen of PI and Ler may effectively kill cancer cells via structural and functional perturbations of the ER and mitochondria.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Multiple myeloma is a disease predominately affecting older adults. Pivotal to treating older adults is understanding their physiologic differences compared to younger subjects and how the complexity of therapies has an impact upon this patient population. AREAS COVERED Herein, the authors address the efficacy of chemotherapy regimens, decision-making for older adults, chemotherapy-associated toxicity and the approach to management. This review focuses on the complex treatment of older multiple myeloma patients and management of treatment-related adverse events. EXPERT OPINION Balancing efficacy and managing toxicity is a challenge for older myeloma patients. This group is more susceptible to treatment toxicities due to a higher incidence of pre-existing comorbidities and underlying diminished physiologic reserve. Intensive therapies such as autologous hematopoietic cell transplant (AHCT), however, still should be considered for all multiple myeloma patients, including older adults. The continued development of novel therapies and increased use of multi-drug regimens has changed the treatment paradigms yet understanding the complexity of the aging adult in the context of various drugs is warranted.
