Time course of hypertension and myocardial dysfunction following anthracycline chemotherapy in pediatric patients. IJC HEART & VASCULATURE 2024; 53:101436. [PMID: 38872982 PMCID: PMC11169083 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcha.2024.101436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
Background Anthracyclines are associated with cardiac dysfunction. Little is known about the interplay of pre-existing hypertension and treatment response. We aimed to investigate the relationship between hypertension and the development of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) in pediatric patients treated with anthracycline chemotherapy. Methods Pediatric patients with cancer who received anthracycline chemotherapy from 2013 to 2021 were retrospectively included. Serial cardiac assessments were conducted during and after chemotherapy. The primary outcome was the development of CTRCD, classified as mild, moderate, or severe according to contemporary definitions. Results Among 190 patients undergoing anthracycline chemotherapy, 34 patients (17.9 %) had hypertension (24 patients Stage 1, and 10 patients Stage 2) at baseline evaluation. Patients underwent chemotherapy for a median of 234.4 days (interquartile range 127.8-690.3 days) and were subsequently followed up. Hypertension was frequent during follow-up 31.3 % (0-3 months), 15.8 % (3-6 months), 21.9 % (0.5-1 years), 24.7 % (1-2 years), 31.1 % (2-4 years) and 35.8 % (beyond 4 years) (P for trend < 0.001). Freedom from mild CTRCD at 5 years was 45.0 %, freedom from moderate CTRCD was 87.8 % at 5 years. Baseline hypertension did not increase the risk of mild (HR 0.77, 95 % CI: 0.41-1.42, P = 0.385) or moderate CTRCD (HR 0.62, 95 % CI: 0.14-2.72, P = 0.504). Patients with baseline hypertension showed different global longitudinal strain (P < 0.001) and LVEF (P < 0.001) patterns during follow-up. Conclusions Pediatric patients often develop CTRCD post-anthracycline chemotherapy. Those with pre-existing hypertension show a unique treatment response, despite no increased CTRCD risk, warranting further investigation.

Pediatr Cardiol 2024:10.1007/s00246-024-03480-2.

Abstract
Anthracycline chemotherapy is associated with the left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, but the conventional echocardiographic parameter is insensitive in detecting subclinical cardiac dysfunction, and the role of echocardiography in children cancer survivors (CCSs) has not been well established. Here, the myocardial work (MW) was employed to evaluate the early effect of the anthracyclines on LV function in children lymphoma survivors, as well as to explore the clinical application value of this modality. 51 children lymphoma survivors treated with anthracyclines were included. During the treatments, the echocardiography was performed at baseline (T0 phase), the 3rd (T1 phase) and 6th (T2 phase) chemotherapeutic cycle, respectively. After that, the conventional echocardiographic parameters, LV global longitudinal strain (GLS), and global myocardial work (GMW) parameters were obtained. Finally, these echocardiographic parameters were compared to distinguish the differences among three groups, and correlation analysis was used to identify relationship between GMW parameters and LV GLS. Compared with the baseline, we found that there are no significant differences for LVEF and other conventional echocardiographic parameters after chemotherapy, but the value of LV lateral E/E' increased at T1 and T2 group. The GLS, global work index, global constructed work, and global work efficiency were decreased, while the global wasted work was increased after chemotherapy (all P < 0.05). The correlation analysis showed that the GLS has significant correlation with GMW parameters (all P < 0.001). The MW, as a new noninvasive echocardiography modality, could be used to quantitatively evaluate the LV MW in children lymphoma survivors treated with anthracyclines, which providing a sensitive method to early detect the children's LV dysfunction after the chemotherapy.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), a group of disorders affecting the heart or blood vessels, are the primary cause of death worldwide, with an immense impact on patient quality of life and disability. According to the World Health Organization, CVD takes an estimated 17.9 million lives each year, where more than four out of five CVD deaths are due to heart attacks and strokes. In the decades to come, an increased prevalence of age-related CVD, such as atherosclerosis, coronary artery stenosis, myocardial infarction (MI), valvular heart disease, and heart failure (HF) will contribute to an even greater health and economic burden as the global average life expectancy increases and consequently the world's population continues to age. Considering this, it is important to focus our research efforts on understanding the fundamental mechanisms underlying CVD. In this review, we focus on cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction, which have long been established to contribute to CVD. We also assess the recent advances in targeting mitochondrial dysfunction including energy starvation and oxidative stress, mitochondria dynamics imbalance, cell apoptosis, mitophagy, and senescence with a focus on therapies that influence both and therefore perhaps represent strategies with the most clinical potential, range, and utility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Childhood cancer survivors are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, presenting as the main causes of morbidity and mortality within this group. Besides the usual primary and secondary prevention in combination with screening during follow-up, the modifiable lifestyle factors of physical activity, nutrition, and body weight have not yet gained enough attention regarding potential cardiovascular risk reduction. OBJECTIVE These practical recommendations aim to provide summarised information and practical implications to paediatricians and health professionals treating childhood cancer survivors to reduce the risk of cardiovascular late effects. METHODS The content derives from either published guidelines or expert opinions from Association of European Paediatric and Congenital Cardiology working groups and is in accordance with current state-of-the-art. RESULTS All usual methods of prevention and screening regarding the risk, monitoring, and treatment of occurring cardiovascular diseases are summarised. Additionally, modifiable lifestyle factors are explained, and clear practical implications are named. CONCLUSION Modifiable lifestyle factors should definitely be considered as a cost-effective and complementary approach to already implemented follow-up care programs in cardio-oncology, which can be actively addressed by the survivors themselves. However, treating physicians are strongly encouraged to support survivors to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle, including physical activity as one of the major influencing factors. This article summarises relevant background information and provides specific practical recommendations on how to advise survivors to increase their level of physical activity.

Abstract
Background Anthracyclines are highly effective in treating cancer, albeit with increased cardiomyopathy risk. Although risk is attributed to associations with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), multiple SNPs on a gene and their interactions remain unexamined. Objectives This study examined gene-level associations with cardiomyopathy among cancer survivors using whole-exome sequencing data. Methods For discovery, 278 childhood cancer survivors (129 cases; 149 matched control subjects) from the COG (Children's Oncology Group) study ALTE03N1 were included. Logic regression (machine learning) was used to identify gene-level SNP combinations for 7,212 genes and ordinal logistic regression to estimate gene-level associations with cardiomyopathy. Models were adjusted for primary cancer, age at cancer diagnosis, sex, race/ethnicity, cumulative anthracycline dose, chest radiation, cardiovascular risk factors, and 3 principal components. Statistical significance threshold of 6.93 × 10-6 accounted for multiple testing. Three independent cancer survivor populations (COG study, BMTSS [Blood or Marrow Transplant Survivor Study] and CCSS [Childhood Cancer Survivor Study]) were used to replicate gene-level associations and examine SNP-level associations from discovery genes using ordinal logistic, conditional logistic, and Cox regression models, respectively. Results Median age at cancer diagnosis for discovery cases and control subjects was 6 years and 8 years, respectively. Gene-level association for P2RX7 (OR: 0.10; 95% CI: 0.04-0.27; P = 2.19 × 10-6) was successfully replicated (HR: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.47-0.90; P = 0.009) in the CCSS cohort. Additional signals were identified on TNIK, LRRK2, MEFV, NOBOX, and FBN3. Individual SNPs across all discovery genes, except FBN3, were replicated. Conclusions In our study, SNP sets having 1 or no copies of P2RX7 variant alleles were associated with reduced risk of cardiomyopathy, presenting a potential therapeutic target to mitigate cardiac outcomes in cancer survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Asymptomatic childhood cancer survivors (CCS) frequently show decreased exercise performance. Poor exercise performance may indicate impaired future cardiovascular health. METHODS Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) was performed in asymptomatic off-treatment CCS (age ≥ 10 years). Patients were divided into Normal and Poor performance groups by %predicted maximum VO2 at 80%. Both peak and submaximal CPET values were analyzed. RESULTS Thirty-eight males (19 Normal, 19 Poor) and 40 females (18 Normal, 22 Poor) were studied. Total anthracycline dosage was comparable among 4 groups. The body mass index (BMI), although normal, and weight were significantly higher in Poor groups. Peak heart rate (HR) and peak respiratory exchange ratio (RER) were comparable in all four groups. Peak work rate (pWR)/kg, peak oxygen consumption (pVO2)/kg, peak oxygen pulse (pOP)/kg, and ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT)/kg were significantly lower, whereas heart rate (HR) increase by WR/kg (ΔHR/Δ[WR/kg] was significantly higher in Poor groups. Simultaneously plotting of weight & pVO2 and ΔHR/ΔWR & ΔVO2/ΔHR revealed a distinct difference between the Normal and Poor groups in both sexes, suggesting decreased skeletal muscle mass and decreased stroke volume reserve, respectively, in Poor CCS. The relationship between VAT and pVO2 was almost identical between the two groups in both sexes. Ventilatory efficiency was mildly diminished in the Poor groups. CONCLUSIONS Decreased skeletal muscle mass, decreased stroke volume reserve, and slightly decreased ventilatory efficiency characterize Poor CCS in both sexes. This unique combined CPET analysis provides useful clinical biomarkers to screen subclinical cardiovascular abnormality in CCS and identifies an area for improvement.

Abstract
ABSTRACT There is a gap in the literature on the best treatment of clinical sequelae within adolescent and young adult pediatric cancer populations. Children, adolescents, and young adults are at risk for a multitude of immediate and late effects of their disease and treatment that warrant a comprehensive, multidisciplinary team approach to optimize care. Sports medicine providers are well-equipped with their background to join the oncology rehabilitation team in diagnosing and managing cancer-related impairments to help these populations live a healthier and more active lifestyle. In this manuscript, four essential clinical components to consider when returning children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer history to physical activity are discussed: chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, cardiotoxicity, nutritional deficiencies, and deconditioning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Millions of cancer survivors are at risk of cardiovascular diseases, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Tools to potentially facilitate implementation of cardiology guidelines, consensus recommendations, and scientific statements to prevent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and other cardiovascular diseases are limited. Thus, inadequate utilization of cardiovascular medications and imaging is widespread, including significantly lower rates of statin use among cancer survivors for whom statin therapy is indicated. METHODS In this methodological study, we leveraged published guidelines documents to create a rules-based tool to include guidelines, expert consensus, and medical society scientific statements relevant to point of care cardiovascular disease prevention in the cardiovascular care of cancer survivors. Any overlap, redundancy, or ambiguous recommendations were identified and eliminated across all converted sources of knowledge. The integrity of the tool was assessed with use case examples and review of subsequent care suggestions. RESULTS An initial selection of 10 guidelines, expert consensus, and medical society scientific statements was made for this study. Then 7 were kept owing to overlap and revisions in society recommendations over recent years. Extensive formulae were employed to translate the recommendations of 7 selected guidelines into rules and proposed action measures. Patient suitability and care suggestions were assessed for several use case examples. CONCLUSION A simple rules-based application was designed to provide a potential format to deliver critical cardiovascular disease best-practice prevention recommendations at the point of care for cancer survivors. A version of this tool may potentially facilitate implementing these guidelines across clinics, payers, and health systems for preventing cardiovascular diseases in cancer survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exercise intolerance among childhood cancer survivors substantially increases risk for early mortality, reduced cognitive function, poor quality of life, emotional distress, and sub-optimal participation in social roles. Fortunately, exercise intolerance is modifiable, even among individuals with impaired cardiopulmonary and neuromuscular health. This study aims to evaluate the impact of tailored exercise intervention remotely supervised by fitness professionals in survivors with exercise intolerance. Telehealth-based delivery of the intervention aims to enhance uptake by removing the burden of travel and allowing participants to gain confidence with exercise and physical activity at home. METHODS This is an ongoing single-blind, two-arm, prospective, clinical trial that will randomize 160 participants 1:1 to intervention (n = 80) and attention control (n = 80) groups. The intervention group receives an individually tailored exercise prescription based on results from baseline assessments performed remotely via a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act-compliant virtual platform and personal preferences for aerobic exercise. Each prescription includes aerobic and strengthening components designed to progress gradually to 150-300-min of moderate aerobic activity and twice weekly strengthening exercises over 20-weeks. The first two weeks are supervised for 6 sessions, tapering to twice/week for weeks 3-4, once/week for weeks 5-8, every other week for weeks 9-16 and once midway between weeks 17-20. The schedule is modifiable depending on participant need, adherence, and response to exercise. Each session is approximately one hour. CONCLUSION This study tests the efficacy of an individually prescribed, virtually supervised exercise intervention on exercise intolerant childhood cancer survivors.

Acute and early-onset cardiotoxicity in children and adolescents with cancer: a systematic review. BMC Cancer 2023; 23:866. [PMID: 37710224 PMCID: PMC10500898 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-11353-9] [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: 05/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiotoxicity is among the most important adverse effects of childhood cancer treatment. Anthracyclines, mitoxantrone and radiotherapy involving the heart are its main causes. Subclinical cardiac dysfunction may over time progress to clinical heart failure. The majority of previous studies have focused on late-onset cardiotoxicity. In this systematic review, we discuss the prevalence and risk factors for acute and early-onset cardiotoxicity in children and adolescents with cancer treated with anthracyclines, mitoxantrone or radiotherapy involving the heart. METHODS A literature search was performed within PubMed and reference lists of relevant studies. Studies were eligible if they reported on cardiotoxicity measured by clinical, echocardiographic and biochemical parameters routinely used in clinical practice during or within one year after the start of cancer treatment in ≥ 25 children and adolescents with cancer. Information about study population, treatment, outcomes of diagnostic tests used for cardiotoxicity assessment and risk factors was extracted and risk of bias was assessed. RESULTS Our PubMed search yielded 3649 unique publications, 44 of which fulfilled the inclusion criteria. One additional study was identified by scanning the reference lists of relevant studies. In these 45 studies, acute and early-onset cardiotoxicity was studied in 7797 children and adolescents. Definitions of acute and early-onset cardiotoxicity prove to be highly heterogeneous. Prevalence rates varied for different cardiotoxicity definitions: systolic dysfunction (0.0-56.4%), diastolic dysfunction (30.0-100%), combinations of echocardiography and/or clinical parameters (0.0-38.1%), clinical symptoms (0.0-25.5%) and biomarker levels (0.0-37.5%). Shortening fraction and ejection fraction significantly decreased during treatment. Cumulative anthracycline dose proves to be an important risk factor. CONCLUSIONS Various definitions have been used to describe acute and early-onset cardiotoxicity due to childhood cancer treatment, complicating the establishment of its exact prevalence. Our findings underscore the importance of uniform international guidelines for the monitoring of cardiac function during and shortly after childhood cancer treatment.

Longitudinal strain analysis for assessment of early cardiotoxicity during anthracycline treatment in childhood sarcoma: A single center experience. Cancer Rep (Hoboken) 2023; 6:e1852. [PMID: 37354068 PMCID: PMC10480418 DOI: 10.1002/cnr2.1852] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2023] [Accepted: 06/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The growing population of long-term childhood cancer survivors encounter a substantial burden of cardiovascular complications. The highest risk of cardiovascular complications is associated with exposure to anthracyclines and chest radiation. Longitudinal cardiovascular surveillance is recommended for childhood cancer patients; however, the optimal methods and timing are yet to be elucidated. AIMS We aimed to investigate the feasibility of different echocardiographic methods to evaluate left ventricular systolic function in retrospective datasets, including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), fractional shortening (FS), global longitudinal strain (GLS) and longitudinal strain (LS) as well as the incidence and timing of subclinical left ventricular dysfunction detected by these methods. METHODS AND RESULTS A retrospective longitudinal study was performed with re-analysis of longitudinal echocardiographic data, acquired during treatment and early follow-up, including 41 pediatric sarcoma patients, aged 2.1-17.8 years at diagnosis, treated at Astrid Lindgren Children's Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden, during the period 2010-2021. All patients had received treatment according to protocols including high cumulative doxorubicin equivalent doses (≥250 mg/m2 ). In 68% of all 366 echocardiograms, LS analysis was feasible. Impaired LS values (<17%) was demonstrated in >40%, with concomitant impairment of either LVEF or FS in 20% and combined impairment of both LVEF and FS in <10%. Importantly, there were no cases of abnormal LVEF and FS without concomitant LS impairment. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate feasibility of LS in a majority of echocardiograms and a high incidence of impaired LS during anthracycline treatment for childhood sarcoma. We propose inclusion of LS in pediatric echocardiographic surveillance protocols.

Abstract
Interdisciplinary research teams can be extremely beneficial when addressing difficult clinical problems. The incorporation of conceptual and methodological strategies from a variety of research disciplines and health professions yields transformative results. In this setting, the long-term goal of team science is to improve patient care, with emphasis on population health outcomes. However, team principles necessary for effective research teams are rarely taught in health professional schools. To form successful interdisciplinary research teams in cardio-oncology and beyond, guiding principles and organizational recommendations are necessary. Cardiovascular disease results in annual direct costs of $220 billion (about $680 per person in the US) and is the leading cause of death for cancer survivors, including adult survivors of childhood cancers. Optimizing cardio-oncology research in interdisciplinary research teams has the potential to aid in the investigation of strategies for saving hundreds of thousands of lives each year in the United States and mitigating the annual cost of cardiovascular disease. Despite published reports on experiences developing research teams across organizations, specialties and settings, there is no single journal article that compiles principles for cardiology or cardio-oncology research teams. In this review, recurring threads linked to working as a team, as well as optimal methods, advantages, and problems that arise when managing teams are described in the context of career development and research. The worth and hurdles of a team approach, based on practical lessons learned from establishing our multidisciplinary research team and information gleaned from relevant specialties in the development of a successful team are presented.

Modeling Cardiotoxicity in Pediatric Oncology Patients Using Patient-Specific iPSC-Derived Cardiomyocytes Reveals Downregulation of Cardioprotective microRNAs. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1378.

Abstract
Anthracyclines are widely used in the treatment of many solid cancers, but their efficacy is limited by cardiotoxicity. As the number of pediatric cancer survivors continues to rise, there has been a concomitant increase in people living with anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. Accordingly, there is an ongoing need for new models to better understand the pathophysiological mechanisms of anthracycline-induced cardiac damage. Here we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from two pediatric oncology patients with acute cardiotoxicity induced by anthracyclines and differentiated them to ventricular cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs). Comparative analysis of these cells (CTX hiPSC-CMs) and control hiPSC-CMs revealed that the former were significantly more sensitive to cell injury and death from the anthracycline doxorubicin (DOX), as measured by viability analysis, cleaved caspase 3 expression, oxidative stress, genomic and mitochondrial damage and sarcomeric disorganization. The expression of several mRNAs involved in structural integrity and inflammatory response were also differentially affected by DOX. Functionally, optical mapping analysis revealed higher arrythmia complexity after DOX treatment in CTX iPSC-CMs. Finally, using a panel of previously identified microRNAs associated with cardioprotection, we identified lower levels of miR-22-3p, miR-30b-5p, miR-90b-3p and miR-4732-3p in CTX iPSC-CMs under basal conditions. Our study provides valuable phenotype information for cellular models of cardiotoxicity and highlights the significance of using patient-derived cardiomyocytes for studying the associated pathogenic mechanisms.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT As chemotherapy continues to improve the lives of patients with cancer, understanding the effects of these drugs on other organ systems, and the cardiovascular system in particular, has become increasingly important. The effects of chemotherapy on the cardiovascular system are a major determinant of morbidity and mortality in these survivors. Although echocardiography continues to be the most widely used modality for assessing cardiotoxicity, newer imaging modalities and biomarker concentrations may detect subclinical cardiotoxicity earlier. Dexrazoxane continues to be the most effective therapy for preventing anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy. Neurohormonal modulating drugs have not prevented cardiotoxicity, so their widespread, long-term use for all patients is currently not recommended. Advanced cardiac therapies, including heart transplant, have been successful in cancer survivors with end-stage HF and should be considered for these patients. Research on new targets, especially genetic associations, may produce treatments that help reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical informatics tools to integrate data from multiple sources have the potential to catalyze population health management of childhood cancer survivors at high risk for late heart failure through the implementation of previously validated risk calculators. METHODS The Oklahoma cohort (n = 365) harnessed data elements from Passport for Care (PFC), and the Duke cohort (n = 274) employed informatics methods to automatically extract chemotherapy exposures from electronic health record (EHR) data for survivors 18 years old and younger at diagnosis. The Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) late cardiovascular risk calculator was implemented, and risk groups for heart failure were compared to the Children's Oncology Group (COG) and the International Guidelines Harmonization Group (IGHG) recommendations. Analysis within the Oklahoma cohort assessed disparities in guideline-adherent care. RESULTS The Oklahoma and Duke cohorts both observed good overall concordance between the CCSS and COG risk groups for late heart failure, with weighted kappa statistics of .70 and .75, respectively. Low-risk groups showed excellent concordance (kappa > .9). Moderate and high-risk groups showed moderate concordance (kappa .44-.60). In the Oklahoma cohort, adolescents at diagnosis were significantly less likely to receive guideline-adherent echocardiogram surveillance compared with survivors younger than 13 years old at diagnosis (odds ratio [OD] 0.22; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.10-0.49). CONCLUSIONS Clinical informatics tools represent a feasible approach to leverage discrete treatment-related data elements from PFC or the EHR to successfully implement previously validated late cardiovascular risk prediction models on a population health level. Concordance of CCSS, COG, and IGHG risk groups using real-world data informs current guidelines and identifies inequities in guideline-adherent care.

Abstract
Improvements in the treatment of childhood cancer have considerably enhanced survival rates over the last decades to over 80% as of today. However, this great achievement has been accompanied by the occurrence of several early and long-term treatment-related complications major of which is cardiotoxicity. This article reviews the contemporary definition of cardiotoxicity, older and newer chemotherapeutic agents that are mainly involved in cardiotoxicity, routine process diagnoses, and methods using omics technology for early and preventive diagnosis. Chemotherapeutic agents and radiation therapies have been implicated as a cause of cardiotoxicity. In response, the area of cardio-oncology has developed into a crucial element of oncologic patient care, committed to the early diagnosis and treatment of adverse cardiac events. However, routine diagnosis and the monitoring of cardiotoxicity rely on electrocardiography and echocardiography. For the early detection of cardiotoxicity, in recent years, major studies have been conducted using biomarkers such as troponin, N-terminal pro b-natriuretic peptide, etc. Despite the refinements in diagnostics, severe limitations still exist due to the increase in the above-mentioned biomarkers only after significant cardiac damage has occurred. Lately, the research has expanded by introducing new technologies and finding new markers using the omics approach. These new markers could be used not only for early detection but also for the early prevention of cardiotoxicity. Omics science, which includes genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, offers new opportunities for biomarker discovery in cardiotoxicity and may provide an understanding of the mechanisms of cardiotoxicity beyond traditional technologies.

Abstract
Childhood cancer survival has improved significantly in the past few decades, reaching rates of 80% or more at 5 years. However, with improved survival, early- and late-occurring complications of chemotherapy and radiotherapy exposure are becoming progressively more evident. Cardiovascular diseases represent the leading cause of non-oncological morbidity and mortality in this highly vulnerable population. Therefore, the necessity of reliable, noninvasive screening tools able to early identify cardiac complications early is now pre-eminent in order to implement prevention strategies and mitigate disease progression. Echocardiography, may allow identification of myocardial dysfunction, pericardial complications, and valvular heart diseases. However, additional imaging modalities may be necessary in selected cases. This manuscript provides an in-depth review of noninvasive imaging parameters studied in childhood cancer survivors. Furthermore, we will illustrate brief surveillance recommendations according to available evidence and future perspectives in this expanding field.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population with the most common cancer being acute lymphoblastic leukemia. One of the most common drugs used in the treatment is the anthracycline group of chemotherapeutic agents, and a major side effect is cardiotoxicity. Dexrazoxane, a member of the cardioprotective agents' group of medications, is the only current FDA-approved medication to tackle cardiotoxicity. The mechanism of action in which dexrazoxane is cardioprotective is by halting necroptosis in cardiomyocytes after anthracycline therapy and concurrently binds with iron and reduces the formation of anthracycline-iron complexes and reactive oxygen species. The efficacy of dexrazoxane has been demonstrated in clinical trials within the pediatric population with roughly 60%-80% reduction in risk of developing cardiotoxicity with a very tolerable and limited side effect profile. Further research is required to not only establish the efficacy of dexrazoxane within the pediatric population but also to explore other medications that may serve alongside the function of dexrazoxane.

Abstract
Pediatric cancer survivors may experience cardiometabolic sequelae over the course of their lives as a result of the treatments they have received. While nutrition consists of an actionable target for cardiometabolic health, few nutritional interventions have been documented in this population. This study assessed the changes in diet during a one-year nutritional intervention for children and adolescents undergoing cancer treatments and the participants’ anthropometric and cardiometabolic profiles. A total of 36 children and adolescents (mean age: 7.9 years, 52.8% male) newly diagnosed with cancer (50% leukemia) and their parents underwent a one-year individualized nutrition intervention. The mean number of follow-up visits with the dietitian during the intervention was 4.72 ± 1.06. Between the initial and one-year assessments, there was an improvement in diet quality reflected by the Diet Quality Index (5.22 ± 9.95, p = 0.003). Similarly, the proportion of participants with moderate and good adherence (vs. low adherence) to the Healthy Diet Index score almost tripled after one year of intervention (14% vs. 39%, p = 0.012). In parallel, there was an increase in the mean z-scores for weight (0.29 ± 0.70, p = 0.019) and BMI (0.50 ± 0.88, p = 0.002), and in the mean levels of HDL-C (0.27 ± 0.37 mmol/L, p = 0.002) and 25-hydroxy vitamin D (14.5 ± 28.1 mmol/L, p = 0.03). Overall, this study supports that a one-year nutritional intervention deployed early after a pediatric cancer diagnosis is associated with an improvement in the diets of children and adolescents.

Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing Characterizes Silent Cardiovascular Abnormalities in Asymptomatic Pediatric Cancer Survivors. Pediatr Cardiol 2023; 44:344-353. [PMID: 36076098 DOI: 10.1007/s00246-022-02995-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Late-onset cardiovascular complications are serious concerns for pediatric cancer survivors (PCS) including those who are asymptomatic. We investigated whether cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) can delineate the underlying pathophysiology of preclinical cardiovascular abnormalities in PCS. We examined CPET data via cycle ergometer in asymptomatic PCS with normal echocardiogram and age-matched controls. Peak and submaximal parameters were analyzed. Fifty-three PCS and 60 controls were studied. Peak oxygen consumption (VO2), peak work rate (WR), and ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) were significantly lower in PCS than controls (1.86 ± 0.53 vs. 2.23 ± 0.61 L/min, 125 ± 45 vs. 154 ± 46 W, and 1.20 ± 0.35 vs. 1.42 ± 0.43 L/min, respectively; all p < 0.01), whereas peak heart rate (HR) and ventilatory efficiency (a slope of minute ventilation over CO2 production or ∆VE/∆VCO2) were comparable. Peak respiratory exchange ratio (RER) was significantly higher in PCS (p = 0.0006). Stroke volume (SV) reserve was decreased in PCS, indicated by simultaneous higher dependency on HR (higher ∆HR/∆WR) and lower peak oxygen pulse (OP). Twelve PCS with high peak RER (≥ 1.3) revealed lower pVO2 and VAT than the rest of PCS despite higher ventilatory efficiency (lower ∆VE/∆VCO2), suggesting fundamental deficiency in oxygen utilization in some PCS. Poor exercise performance in PCS may be mainly attributed to limited stroke volume reserve, but the underlying pathophysiology is multifactorial. Combined assessment of peak and submaximal CPET parameters provided critical information in delineating underlying exercise physiology of PCS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The many improvements in cancer therapies have led to an increased number of survivors, which comes with a greater risk of consequent/subsequent cardiovascular disease. Identifying effective management strategies that can mitigate this risk of cardiovascular complications is vital. Therefore, developing computer-driven and personalized clinical decision aid interventions that can provide early detection of patients at risk, stratify that risk, and recommend specific cardio-oncology management guidelines and expert consensus recommendations is critically important. OBJECTIVES To assess the feasibility, acceptability, and utility of the use of an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered clinical decision aid tool in shared decision making between the cancer survivor patient and the cardiologist regarding prevention of cardiovascular disease. DESIGN This is a single-center, double-arm, open-label, randomized interventional feasibility study. Our cardio-oncology cohort of > 4000 individuals from our Clinical Research Data Warehouse will be queried to identify at least 200 adult cancer survivors who meet the eligibility criteria. Study participants will be randomized into either the Clinical Decision Aid Group (where patients will use the clinical decision aid in addition to current practice) or the Control Group (current practice). The primary endpoint of this study is to assess for each patient encounter whether cardiovascular medications and imaging pursued were consistent with current medical society recommendations. Additionally, the perceptions of using the clinical decision tool will be evaluated based on patient and physician feedback through surveys and focus groups. This trial will determine whether a clinical decision aid tool improves cancer survivors' medication use and imaging surveillance recommendations aligned with current medical guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-invasive cardiac imaging has a growing role in diagnosis, differential diagnosis, therapy planning, and follow-up in children and adolescents with congenital and acquired cardiac diseases. This review is based on a systematic analysis of international peer-reviewed articles and additionally presents own clinical experiences. It provides an overview of technical advances, emerging clinical applications, and the aspect of artificial intelligence. MAIN BODY The main imaging modalities are echocardiography, CT, and MRI. For echocardiography, strain imaging allows a novel non-invasive assessment of tissue integrity, 3D imaging rapid holistic overviews of anatomy. Fast cardiac CT imaging new techniques-especially for coronary assessment as the main clinical indication-have significantly improved spatial and temporal resolution in adjunct with a major reduction in ionizing dose. For cardiac MRI, assessment of tissue integrity even without contrast agent application by mapping sequences is a major technical breakthrough. Fetal cardiac MRI is an emerging technology, which allows structural and functional assessment of fetal hearts including even 4D flow analyses. Last but not least, artificial intelligence will play an important role for improvements of data acquisition and interpretation in the near future. CONCLUSION Non-invasive cardiac imaging plays an integral part in the workup of children with heart disease. In recent years, its main application congenital heart disease has been widened for acquired cardiac diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cardio-oncology is an increasingly important field of cardiology that focuses on the detection, monitoring, and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) occurring during and after oncological treatments. The survival rate for childhood cancer patients has dramatically increased thanks to new treatment protocols and cardiovascular (CV) sequelae represent the third most frequent cause of mortality in surviving patients. This study aims to provide a complete and updated review of all the main aspects of cardio-oncology in childhood and to highlight the critical issues. RECENT FINDINGS The problem of CV complications in childhood cancer survivors raises the need to make an early diagnosis of cardiotoxicity by the new imaging and laboratory techniques in order to intervene promptly and to implement pharmacological strategies and lifestyle changes to reduce or even to prevent cardiac injury. Furthermore, a stratification of CV risk, also including new predisposing factors such as the presence of some genetic mutations, is of paramount importance before undertaking oncological treatments. Besides, a systematic and personalized planning of long-term follow-up is fundamental to ensure a transition from pediatric to adult hospital and to avoid missed or late diagnosis of cardiomyopathy. We reviewed the main risk factors for cardiotoxicity in children, both traditional and emerging ones: the mechanisms of toxicity of both old and new antineoplastic therapies, the techniques for detecting cardiac damage, and the current evidence regarding pharmacological cardioprotection. At the end, we focused our attention on the existing guidelines and strategies about the long-term follow-up of childhood cancer survivors.

Abstract
Childhood and adolescent cancer survivors are disproportionately more likely to develop cardiovascular diseases from the late effects of cardiotoxic therapies (e.g., anthracycline-based chemotherapy and chest-directed radiotherapy). Currently, dexrazoxane is the only approved drug for preventing cancer treatment-related cardiac damage. While animal models highlight the beneficial effects of exercise cancer treatment-related cardiac dysfunction, few clinical studies have been conducted. Thus, the objective of this scoping review was to explore the designs and impact of exercise-based interventions for managing cancer treatment-related cardiac dysfunction in childhood and adolescent cancer survivors. Reviewers used Joanna Briggs Institute’s methodology to identify relevant literature. Then, 4616 studies were screened, and three reviewers extracted relevant data from six reports. Reviewers found that exercise interventions to prevent cancer treatment-related cardiac dysfunction in childhood and adolescent cancer survivors vary regarding frequency, intensity, time, and type of exercise intervention. Further, the review suggests that exercise promotes positive effects on managing cancer treatment-related cardiac dysfunction across numerous indices of heart health. However, the few clinical studies employing exercise interventions for childhood and adolescent cancer survivors highlight the necessity for more research in this area.

Abstract
Background Cardiomyopathy is a leading cause of late morbidity and mortality in childhood cancer survivors (CCS). Evidence-based guidelines recommend risk-stratified screening for cardiomyopathy, but the management approach for abnormalities detected when screening asymptomatic young adult CCS is poorly defined. Objectives The aims of this study were to build upon existing guidelines by describing the expert consensus–based cardiomyopathy screening practices, management approach, and clinical rationale for the management of young adult CCS with screening-detected abnormalities and to identify areas of controversy in practice. Methods A multispecialty Delphi panel of 40 physicians with expertise in cancer survivorship completed 3 iterative rounds of semi-open-ended questionnaires regarding their approaches to the management of asymptomatic young adult CCS at risk for cardiomyopathy (screening practices, referrals, cardiac testing, laboratory studies, medications). Consensus was defined as ≥90% panelist agreement with recommendation. Results The response rate was 100% for all 3 rounds. Panelists reached consensus on the timing and frequency of echocardiographic screening for anthracycline-associated cardiomyopathy, monitoring during pregnancy, laboratory testing for modifiable cardiac risk factors, and referral to cardiology for ejection fraction ≤50% or preserved ejection fraction with diastolic dysfunction. Controversial areas (<75% agreement) included chest radiation dose threshold to merit screening, indications for advanced cardiac imaging and cardiac serum biomarkers for follow-up of abnormal echocardiographic findings, and medical management of asymptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Conclusions Expert practice is largely consistent with existing risk-based screening guidelines. Some recommendations for managing abnormalities detected on screening echocardiography remain controversial. The rationale offered by experts for divergent approaches may help guide clinical decisions in the absence of guidelines specific to young adult CCS.

Abstract
Innovative therapeutic strategies in childhood cancer led to a significant reduction in cancer-related mortality. Cancer survivors are a growing fragile population, at risk of long-term side effects of cancer treatments, thus requiring customized clinical attention. Antineoplastic drugs have a wide toxicity profile that can limit their clinical usage and spoil patients’ life, even years after the end of treatment. The cardiovascular system is a well-known target of antineoplastic treatments, including anthracyclines, chest radiotherapy and new molecules, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We investigated nutritional changes in children with cancer from the diagnosis to the end of treatment and dietary habits in cancer survivors. At diagnosis, children with cancer may present variable degrees of malnutrition, potentially affecting drug tolerability and prognosis. During cancer treatment, the usage of corticosteroids can lead to rapid weight gain, exposing children to overweight and obesity. Moreover, dietary habits and lifestyle often dramatically change in cancer survivors, who acquire sedentary behavior and weak adherence to dietary guidelines. Furthermore, we speculated on the role of nutrition in the primary prevention of cardiac damage, investigating the potential cardioprotective role of diet-derived compounds with antioxidative properties. Finally, we summarized practical advice to improve the dietary habits of cancer survivors and their families.

Ventricular assist device support for children with chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy and advanced heart failure: Perspectives gained from a single-center experience. Pediatr Transplant 2022; 26:e14286. [PMID: 35474630 DOI: 10.1111/petr.14286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2022] [Revised: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidance and data on ventricular assist device (VAD) support for children with chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy, particularly within the first 2 years after chemotherapy, are limited. METHODS We performed a single-center retrospective case series, reviewing medical records of children <18 years of age with chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy and advanced heart failure (HF) who received durable VAD support. RESULTS Six patients met inclusion criteria-5 HeartWare™ HVAD, 1 Berlin Heart EXCOR® . Median age at cancer diagnosis was 6 years (IQR 4.5-10 years). Median dose of anthracycline received was 540 mg/m2 (IQR 450-630 mg/m2 ). All patients developed HF within 1 year after initiation of cancer treatment (median 8 months, IQR 6-11.5 months) and were initiated on durable VAD support at a median of 8 months after completion of cancer treatment (IQR 3.3-43.5 months). Four patients had significant right ventricular dysfunction needing oral pulmonary vasodilator therapy, one patient had a major bleeding complication, and two patients had thromboembolic strokes while on VAD support. Median duration of VAD support was 7.5 months (IQR 3-11.3 months). Two patients underwent VAD explant due to recovery of LV function, one died due to cancer progression, and three underwent heart transplantation. CONCLUSIONS Durable VAD support should be considered as a therapeutic option for children who have advanced HF due to chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy, even within 2 years of completing cancer treatment. A multi-disciplinary approach is essential for appropriate patient selection prior to implant and to ensure comprehensive care throughout the duration of VAD support.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:921609. [PMID: 35845064 PMCID: PMC9277029 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.921609] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2022] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Chemotherapy has significantly improved cancer survival rates at the cost of irreversible and frequent cardiovascular toxicity. As the main dose-dependent adverse effect, cardiotoxic effects not only limit the usage of chemotherapeutic agents, but also cause the high risk of severe poor prognoses for cancer survivors. Therefore, it is of great significance to seek more effective cardioprotective strategies. Some nutrients have been reported to diminish cardiac oxidative damage associated with chemotherapy. However, the currently available evidence is unclear, which requires a rigorous summary. As such, we conducted a systematic review of all available evidence and demonstrated whether nutrients derived from food could prevent cardiotoxicity caused by chemotherapy. Methods We searched Medline (via PubMed), Embase and the Cochrane Library from inception to Nov 9, 2021 to identify studies reporting dietary nutrients against cancer chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity. We performed descriptive summaries on the included studies, and used forest plots to demonstrate the effects of various dietary nutrients. Results Fifty-seven eligible studies were identified, involving 53 animal studies carried on rats or mice and four human studies in cancer patients. Seven types of dietary nutrients were recognized including polyphenols (mainly extracted from grapes, grape seeds, and tea), allicin (mainly extracted form garlic), lycopene (mainly extracted from tomatoes), polyunsaturated fatty acids, amino acids (mainly referring to glutamine), coenzyme Q10, and trace elements (mainly referring to zinc and selenium). Dietary nutrients ameliorated left ventricular dysfunctions and myocardial oxidative stress at varying degrees, which were caused by chemotherapy. The overall risk of bias of included studies was at moderate to high risk. Conclusion The results indicated that dietary nutrients might be a potential strategy to protect cardiovascular system exposed to the chemotherapeutic agents, but more human studies are urged in this field.Systematic Review Registration: https://inplasy.com/inplasy-2022-3-0015/.

Abstract
Introducción: a nivel mundial, cada año cerca de 300.000 niños entre 0 y 19 años son diagnosticados con cáncer. El porcentaje de supervivientes va en aumento, llegando a 80 % en países desarrollados y 60 % en América Latina. Sin embargo, la expectativa y la calidad de vida de estas personas pueden verse comprometidas ante el desarrollo de cardiotoxicidad, un efecto adverso asociado al uso de algunos agentes antineoplásicos, como los antracíclicos.Objetivo: resaltar los aspectos clínicos relevantes para la prevención, detección oportuna, tratamiento y seguimiento de la cardiotoxicidad secundaria a la administración de antraciclinas durante la infancia.Síntesis de contenido: reflexión teórica que presenta consideraciones clínicas relevantes para guiar las acciones de enfermería y del equipo multidisciplinario en la atención y el cuidado de la salud cardiovascular de los supervivientes de cáncer a cualquier edad. Es importante destacar que en población pediátrica la única estrategia efectiva de prevención primaria para cardiotoxicidad por antraciclinas es la administración de dexrazoxano, mientras que la prevención secundaria debe incluir detección oportuna, control y seguimiento de las alteraciones de la función cardíaca y de los factores de riesgo cardiovascular. Por su parte, la prevención terciaria se centra en el control de la enfermedad y el manejo farmacológico. Conclusiones: no existe un tratamiento estándar para la cardiotoxicidad inducida por quimioterapia o radioterapia, siendo el objetivo principal de este tipo de tratamientos prevenir o retrasar la remodelación del ventrículo izquierdo. Todos los supervivientes requieren seguimiento vitalicio y búsqueda activa de signos de cardiotoxicidad, siendo fundamental la acción conjunta de diferentes profesionales y la consolidación de los servicios de cardio-oncología.

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
OBJECTIVES Pathologic ejection fraction (EF), shortening fraction (FS), and standard heart failure biomarkers (high sensitive troponin T and N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide) during follow-up after childhood cancer have been associated with irreversible cardiac damage. We aimed to evaluate strain imaging values by echocardiography and new biomarkers for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) as potential more sensitive parameters for cardiac deterioration in childhood cancer survivors (CCS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective study with 50 CCS (median 16.2 y) at a median follow-up of 13 years. In addition to standard echo and laboratory parameters for heart failure, strain measurements and new biomarkers, including myocardial inflammation (interleukin 6), extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling (C-telopeptide for type I collagen, intact N-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen), and other heart failure biomarkers (galectin 3, solutable ST2, growth differentiation factor 15), were obtained and compared with 50 healthy controls. RESULTS No significant differences in EF, FS, high sensitive troponin T, N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide, interleukin 6, solutable ST2, and galectin 3 were found between study and control groups. In contrast, strain imaging showed significant differences between both groups (global longitudinal strainGLS -16.1% vs. -20.4%, P<0.0001; global circumferential strain -14.3 vs. -21.4%, P<0.0001), detecting 66% (global longitudinal strain) and 76% (global circumferential strain) of patients with pathologic values in contrast to 6% (EF) and 16% (FS) for standard parameters. Markers for disturbances of ECM remodeling (C-telopeptide for type I collagen, intact N-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen, each P<0.0001) and growth differentiation factor 15 (P<0.0001) were significantly different between the groups. CONCLUSION Strain imaging and new cardiac biomarkers used in HFpEF focusing on ECM remodeling appear to be more sensitive in detecting early remodeling processes in CCS than standard echo and laboratory parameters.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in cancer survivors. It is critical to apply new predictive and early diagnostic methods in this population, as this can potentially inform cardiovascular treatment and surveillance decision-making. We discuss the application of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to cardiovascular imaging in cardio-oncology, with a particular emphasis on prevention and targeted treatment of a variety of cardiovascular conditions in cancer patients. Recently, the use of AI-augmented cardiac imaging in cardio-oncology is gaining traction. A large proportion of cardio-oncology patients are screened and followed using left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS), currently obtained using echocardiography. This use will continue to increase with new cardiotoxic cancer treatments. AI is being tested to increase precision, throughput, and accuracy of LVEF and GLS, guide point-of-care image acquisition, and integrate imaging and clinical data to optimize the prediction and detection of cardiac dysfunction. The application of AI to cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), computed tomography (CT; especially coronary artery calcium or CAC scans), single proton emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging acquisition is also in early stages of analysis for prediction and assessment of cardiac tumors and cardiovascular adverse events in patients treated for childhood or adult cancer. The opportunities for application of AI in cardio-oncology imaging are promising, and if availed, will improve clinical practice and benefit patient care.

Abstract
Anthracyclines are one of the most effective chemotherapy agents and have revolutionized cancer therapy. However, anthracyclines can induce cardiac injuries through ‘multiple-hits', a series of cardiovascular insults coupled with lifestyle risk factors, which increase the risk of developing short- and long-term cardiac dysfunction and cardiovascular disease that potentially lead to premature mortality following cancer remission. Therefore, the management of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity is a serious unmet clinical need. Exercise therapy, as a non-pharmacological intervention, stimulates numerous biochemical and physiologic adaptations, including cardioprotective effects, through the cardiovascular system and cardiac muscles, where exercise has been proposed to be an effective clinical approach that can protect or reverse the cardiotoxicity from anthracyclines. Many preclinical and clinical trials demonstrate the potential impacts of exercise on cardiotoxicity; however, the underlying mechanisms as well as how to implement exercise in clinical settings to improve or protect against long-term cardiovascular disease outcomes are not clearly defined. In this review, we summarize the current evidence in the field of “exercise cardio-oncology” and emphasize the utilization of exercise to prevent and manage anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicities across high-risk and vulnerable populations diagnosed with cancer.

Abstract
Study objective A multi-institutional interdisciplinary team was created to develop a research group focused on leveraging artificial intelligence and informatics for cardio-oncology patients. Cardio-oncology is an emerging medical field dedicated to prevention, screening, and management of adverse cardiovascular effects of cancer/ cancer therapies. Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in cancer survivors. Cardiovascular risk in these patients is higher than in the general population. However, prediction and prevention of adverse cardiovascular events in individuals with a history of cancer/cancer treatment is challenging. Thus, establishing an interdisciplinary team to create cardiovascular risk stratification clinical decision aids for integration into electronic health records for oncology patients was considered crucial. Design/setting/participants Core team members from the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW), University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM), and Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), and additional members from Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, and other institutions have joined forces to apply high-performance computing in cardio-oncology. Results The team is comprised of clinicians and researchers from relevant complementary and synergistic fields relevant to this work. The team has built an epidemiological cohort of ~5000 cancer survivors that will serve as a database for interdisciplinary multi-institutional artificial intelligence projects. Conclusion Lessons learned from establishing this team, as well as initial findings from the epidemiology cohort, are presented. Barriers have been broken down to form a multi-institutional interdisciplinary team for health informatics research in cardio-oncology. A database of cancer survivors has been created collaboratively by the team and provides initial insight into cardiovascular outcomes and comorbidities in this population.

Abstract
Survival for pediatric patients diagnosed with cancer has improved significantly. This achievement has been made possible due to new treatment modalities and the incorporation of a systematic multidisciplinary approach for supportive care. Understanding the distinctive cardiovascular characteristics of children undergoing cancer therapies has set the underpinnings to provide comprehensive care before, during, and after the management of cancer. Nonetheless, we acknowledge the challenge to understand the rapid expansion of oncology disciplines. The limited guidelines in pediatric cardio-oncology have motivated us to develop risk-stratification systems to institute surveillance and therapeutic support for this patient population. Here, we describe a collaborative approach to provide wide-ranging cardiovascular care to children and young adults with oncology diseases. Promoting collaboration in pediatric cardio-oncology medicine will ultimately provide excellent quality of care for future generations of patients.

Abstract
Improving cancer survival represents the most significant effect of precision medicine and personalized molecular and immunologic therapeutics. Cardiovascular health becomes henceforth a key determinant for the direction of overall outcomes after cancer. Comprehensive tissue diagnostic studies undoubtedly have been and continue to be at the core of the fight against cancer. Will a systemic approach integrating circulating blood-derived biomarkers, multimodality imaging technologies, strategic panomics, and real-time streams of digitized physiological data overcome the elusive cardiovascular tissue diagnosis in cardio-oncology? How can such a systemic approach be personalized for application in day-to-day clinical work, with diverse patient populations, cancer diagnoses, and therapies? To address such questions, this scientific statement approaches a broad definition of the biomarker concept. It summarizes the current literature on the utilization of a multitude of established cardiovascular biomarkers at the intersection with cancer. It identifies limitations and gaps of knowledge in the application of biomarkers to stratify the cardiovascular risk before cancer treatment, monitor cardiovascular health during cancer therapy, and detect latent cardiovascular damage in cancer survivors. Last, it highlights areas in biomarker discovery, validation, and clinical application for concerted efforts from funding agencies, scientists, and clinicians at the cardio-oncology nexus.

Abstract
Pediatric cancers are a common cause of childhood morbidity. As a result, chemotherapeutic regimens have been designed to target childhood cancers. These medications are necessary to treat pediatric cancers, however, oncology management options are accompanied by multiple negative and potentially fatal adverse effects. Although anthracyclines are the most commonly used chemotherapeutic agents associated with cardiotoxicity, we also explore other chemotherapeutic drugs used in children that can potentially affect the heart. Genetic variations resulting in single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) have the propensity to modify the cardiotoxic effects of the chemotherapy drugs. The clinical presentation of the cardiac effects can vary from arrhythmias and heart failure to completely asymptomatic. A range of imaging studies and laboratory investigations can protect the heart from severe outcomes. The physiology of the heart and the effect of drugs in children vary vividly from adults; therefore, it is crucial to study the cardiotoxic effect of chemotherapy drugs in the pediatric population. This review highlights the potential contributing factors for cardiotoxicity in the pediatric population and discusses the identification and management options.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cardiovascular disease is a significant cause of late morbidity and mortality in survivors of childhood cancer. Clinical informatics tools could enhance provider adherence to echocardiogram guidelines for early detection of late-onset cardiomyopathy. METHODS Cancer registry data were linked to electronic health record data. Structured query language facilitated the construction of anthracycline-exposed cohorts at a single institution. Primary outcomes included the data quality from automatic anthracycline extraction, sensitivity of International Classification of Disease coding for heart failure, and adherence to echocardiogram guideline recommendations. RESULTS The final analytic cohort included 385 pediatric oncology patients diagnosed between July 1, 2013, and December 31, 2018, among whom 194 were classified as no anthracycline exposure, 143 had low anthracycline exposure (< 250 mg/m2), and 48 had high anthracycline exposure (≥ 250 mg/m2). Manual review of anthracycline exposure was highly concordant (95%) with the automatic extraction. Among the unexposed group, 15% had an anthracycline administered at an outside institution not captured by standard query language coding. Manual review of echocardiogram parameters and clinic notes yielded a sensitivity of 75%, specificity of 98%, and positive predictive value of 68% for International Classification of Disease coding of heart failure. For patients with anthracycline exposure, 78.5% (n = 62) were adherent to guideline recommendations for echocardiogram surveillance. There were significant association with provider adherence and race and ethnicity (P = .047), and 50% of patients with Spanish as their primary language were adherent compared with 90% of patients with English as their primary language (P = .003). CONCLUSION Extraction of treatment exposures from the electronic health record through clinical informatics and integration with cancer registry data represents a feasible approach to assess cardiovascular disease outcomes and adherence to guideline recommendations for survivors.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity is a well-recognized late effect among childhood cancer survivors. With various pediatric cancers becoming increasingly curable, it is imperative to understand the disease burdens that survivors may face in the future. In order to prevent or mitigate cardiovascular complications, we must first understand the mechanistic underpinnings. This review will examine the underlying mechanisms of cardiotoxicity that arise from traditional antineoplastic chemotherapies, radiation therapy, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, as well as newer cellular therapies and targeted cancer therapies. We will then propose areas for prevention, primarily drawing from the anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity literature. Finally, we will explore the role of human induced pluripotent stem cell cardiomyocytes and genetics in advancing the field of cardio-oncology.

Abstract
Aim: Cardiovascular disease represents one of the main causes of secondary morbidity and mortality in patients with childhood cancer. Patients & methods: To further address this issue, we analyzed cardiovascular complications in relation to common and rare genetic variants derived through whole-exome sequencing from childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia survivors (PETALE cohort). Results: Significant associations were detected among common variants in the TTN gene, left ventricular ejection fraction (p ≤ 0.0005), and fractional shortening (p ≤ 0.001). Rare variants enrichment in the NOS1, ABCG2 and NOD2 was observed in relation to left ventricular ejection fraction, and in NOD2 and ZNF267 genes in relation to fractional shortening. Following stratification according to risk groups, the modulatory effect of rare variants was additionally found in the CBR1, ABCC5 and AKR1C3 genes. None of the associations was replicated in St-Jude Lifetime Cohort Study. Conclusion: Further studies are needed to confirm whether the described genetic markers may be useful in identifying patients at increased risk of these complications.

Abstract
Advances in chemotherapy and supportive therapy have resulted in improved clinical outcomes in patients with hematological malignancies undergoing hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). However, the association between HSCT and early- and late-onset cardiotoxicity remains controversial as these cardiac complications, including acute heart failure and arrhythmia, such as atrial fibrillation, can occasionally be lethal. Although the overall pathophysiology has not been elucidated, initial/salvage chemotherapy before HSCT, such as anthracycline-combined regimens, conditioning regimens, thoracic radiotherapy, and pre-existing personal risk factors, could be associated with an increased risk of cardiac events. Routine monitoring of cardiac function using global longitudinal strain or left ventricular ejection fraction in echocardiogram and serum biomarkers could be an option to detect early changes in cardiac status before irreversible cardiac complications develop. While beta-blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are commonly used for cardioprotection, their clinical benefit has not been fully established in HSCT-associated cardiotoxicity. In the future, genetic analysis to reveal individual vulnerability to cardiotoxicity and prospective trials assessing the clinical benefit of early interventions, including novel agents such as angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor, are warranted. Collaboration between oncologists and cardiologists is crucial to establishing a strategy to prevent cardiac complications.

Abstract
The Italian Cancer Registry Association has estimated that for the five-year period 2016-2020, in line with the previous five years, approximately 7,000 neoplasms have been diagnosed among children and 4,000 among adolescents. Leukemias, brain tumors and lymphomas together account for more than two-thirds of all pediatric cancers. Fortunately, the five-years survival rate has progressively improved reaching 80% thanks to the continuing improvement of therapeutic protocols but the vast majority of these cancer survivors will have at least one chronic health condition by 40 years of age. Long-term complications concern various organs and systems and have a multifactorial etiopathogenesis. Obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome represent chronic diseases that affect life expectancy. Cardiovascular risk partly linked to therapies and genetic susceptibility and partly linked to the presence of obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome predispose childhood cancer survivors to heart failure, coronary artery disease, valvular disease, arrhythmia. Hence the cardio- metabolic risk of childhood cancer survivors can have a significant impact on their lives, families, and on society at-large. It is therefore very important to know the risk factors that predispose to the development of cardio-metabolic pathologies in childhood cancer survivors, the possible primary and secondary prevention strategies, the methods of surveillance and the therapeutic approaches.

Severe toxicity free survival: physician-derived definitions of unacceptable long-term toxicities following acute lymphocytic leukaemia. LANCET HAEMATOLOGY 2021; 8:e513-e523. [PMID: 34171282 DOI: 10.1016/s2352-3026(21)00136-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2021] [Revised: 04/24/2021] [Accepted: 04/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
5-year overall survival rates have surpassed 90% for childhood acute lymphocytic leukaemia, but survivors are at risk for permanent health sequelae. Although event-free survival appropriately represents the outcome for cancers with poor overall survival, this metric is inadequate when cure rates are high but challenged by serious, persistent complications. Accordingly, a group of experts in paediatric haematology-oncology, representative of 17 international acute lymphocytic leukaemia study groups, launched an initiative to construct a measure, designated severe toxicity-free survival (STFS), to quantify the occurrence of physician-prioritised toxicities to be integrated with standard cancer outcome reporting. Five generic inclusion criteria (not present before cancer diagnosis, symptomatic, objectifiable, of unacceptable severity, permanent, or requiring unacceptable treatments) were used to assess 855 health conditions, which resulted in inclusion of 21 severe toxicities. Consensus definitions were reached through a modified Delphi process supplemented by two additional plenary meetings. The 21 severe toxicities include severe adverse health conditions that substantially affect activities of daily living and are refractory to therapy (eg, refractory seizures), are without therapeutic options (eg, blindness), or require substantially invasive treatment (eg, cardiac transplantation). Incorporation of STFS assessment into clinical trials has the potential to improve and diversify treatment strategies, focusing not only on traditional outcome events and overall survival but also the frequencies of the most severe toxicities. The two major aims of this Review were to: prioritise and define unacceptable long-term toxicity for patients with childhood acute lymphocytic leukaemia, and define how these toxicities should be combined into a composite quantity to be integrated with other reported outcomes. Although STFS quantifies the clinically unacceptable health tradeoff for cure using childhood acute lymphocytic leukaemia as a model disease, the prioritised severe toxicities are based on generic considerations of relevance to any other cancer diagnosis and age group.

Abstract
Although significant improvements have been made in the outcomes of children with cancer, the pace of improvement has slowed in recent years as the limits of therapy intensification may have been reached for many pediatric cancers. Furthermore, with increasing numbers of pediatric cancer survivors, the long-term side effects of treatment have become increasingly apparent. Therefore, attention has shifted to the use of molecularly targeted agents and immunotherapies to improve the outcomes of children who are not cured by traditional cytotoxic chemotherapies and to decrease exposure to cytotoxic chemotherapy and reduce late effects. This review describes the recent progress in the treatment of children with cancer, focusing in particular on diseases in which targeted and immunotherapeutic agents have made an impact.

Abstract
Despite huge advances in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric cancers over the past several decades, it remains one of the leading causes of death during childhood in developed countries. The development of new targeted treatments for these diseases has been hampered by two major factors. First, the extremely heterogeneous nature of the types of tumors encountered in this age group, and their fundamental differences from common adult carcinomas, has made it hard to truly get a handle on the complexities of the underlying biology driving tumor growth. Second, a reluctance of the pharmaceutical industry to develop products or trials for this population due to the relatively small size of the 'market', and a too-easy mechanism of obtaining waivers for pediatric development of adult oncology drugs based on disease type rather than mechanism of action, led to significant difficulties in getting access to new drugs. Thankfully, the field has now started to change, both scientifically and from a regulatory perspective, in order to address some of these challenges. In this review, we will examine some of the recent insights into molecular features which make pediatric tumors so unique and how these might represent therapeutic targets; highlight ongoing international initiatives for providing comprehensive, personalized genomic profiling of childhood tumors in a clinically-relevant timeframe, and look briefly at where the field of pediatric precision oncology may be heading in future.

Abstract
Cancer survivors who have undergone hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) are at risk for myocardial dysfunction. Children who receive allogenic HCT encounter systemic inflammation resulting in tachycardia and hypertension. The effect of these abnormalities on myocardial function is not known. The aim of this study was to determine whether cardiac dysfunction early after HCT can be predicted by tachycardia or hypertension, within a retrospective single-center sample of pediatric HCT recipients. Early tachycardia or hypertension was defined as a majority of values taken from infusion date to 90 days post-infusion being abnormal. Ejection fraction <53% determined systolic dysfunction. A composite score of accepted pediatric diastolic abnormalities determined diastolic dysfunction. Among 80 subjects (median age 8 years), early tachycardia, systolic dysfunction, and diastolic dysfunction were present in 64%, 25%, and 48% of the sample, respectively. In multivariable models, early tachycardia was an independent predictor of early systolic dysfunction (OR = 12.6 [1.4-112.8], p = 0.024) and diastolic dysfunction (OR = 3.9 [1.3-11.5], p = 0.013). Tachycardia and cardiac dysfunction are common and associated with one another in the early period after pediatric HCT. Future studies may elucidate the role of tachycardia and myocardial dysfunction early after HCT as important predictors of future cardiovascular dysfunction.
