Chemotherapy Related Cardiotoxicity Evaluation-A Contemporary Review with a Focus on Cardiac Imaging. J Clin Med 2024; 13:3714. [PMID: 38999280 PMCID: PMC11242267 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13133714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The long-term survivorship of patients diagnosed with cancer has improved due to accelerated detection and rapidly evolving cancer treatment strategies. As such, the evaluation and management of cancer therapy related complications has become increasingly important, including cardiovascular complications. These have been captured under the umbrella term "cardiotoxicity" and include left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure, acute coronary syndromes, valvular abnormalities, pericardial disease, arrhythmia, myocarditis, and vascular complications. These complications add to the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) or are risk factors patients with cancer treatment are presenting with. Of note, both pre- and newly developing CVD is of prognostic significance, not only from a cardiovascular perspective but also overall, potentially impacting the level of cancer therapy that is possible. Currently, there are varying recommendations and practices regarding CVD risk assessment and mitigating strategies throughout the cancer continuum. This article provides an overview on this topic, in particular, the role of cardiac imaging in the care of the patient with cancer. Furthermore, it summarizes the current evidence on the spectrum, prevention, and management of chemotherapy-related adverse cardiac effects.

Karthikeyan B, Sunder SS, Puzanov I, Olejniczak SH, Pokharel S, Sharma UC. Cardiotoxic profiles of CAR-T therapy and bispecific T-cell engagers in hematological cancers. COMMUNICATIONS MEDICINE 2024; 4:116. [PMID: 38871977 PMCID: PMC11176393 DOI: 10.1038/s43856-024-00540-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy and bispecific T-cell engagers, which redirect T-cells to tumor antigens, have immensely benefitted patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell cancers. How these therapies differ in cardiotoxicity is underexplored. We used the World Health Organization pharmacovigilance database, VigiBase, to compare cardiotoxicity profiles between CD19-targeted CAR-T therapy and blinatumomab (a CD19/CD3-targeted bispecific T-cell engager). METHODS Safety reports in VigiBase were filtered for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL, n = 17,479) and acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL, n = 28,803) for all adverse reactions. Data were further filtered for patients taking CAR-T therapy or blinatumomab. Reporting odds ratios (ROR) and fatality rates were compared between CAR-T cell products (e.g. tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel), and between CAR-T therapy and blinatumomab. RESULTS Tisagenlecleucel is associated with cardiac failure (IC025 = 0.366) with fatality rates of 85.7% and 80.0% in DLBCL and pediatric ALL patients respectively. For DLBCL patients, axicabtagene ciloleucel has greater reporting for hypotension than tisagenlecleucel (ROR: 2.54; 95% CI: 1.28-5.03; p = 0.012), but tisagenlecleucel has higher fatality rates for hypotension than axicabtagene ciloleucel [50.0% (tisagenlecleucel) vs 5.6% (axicabtagene ciloleucel); p < 0.001]. Blinatumomab and tisagenlecleucel have similar fatality rates for hypotension in pediatric ALL patients [34.7% (tisagenlecleucel) vs 20.0% (blinatumomab); p = 0.66]. CONCLUSIONS Tisagenlecleucel is associated with severe and fatal adverse cardiac events, with higher fatality rates for hypotension compared to axicabtagene ciloleucel in DLBCL patients, but similar hypotension fatality rates compared to blinatumomab in pediatric ALL patients. Effective management necessitates experienced physicians, including cardio-oncologists, skilled in interdisciplinary approaches to manage these toxicities.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2024; 11:1367893. [PMID: 38911514 PMCID: PMC11190324 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2024.1367893] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Cardio-oncology is a new field of interest in cardiology focusing on the detection and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, such as arrhythmias, myocarditis, and heart failure, as side-effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The association between chemotherapeutic agents and arrhythmias has previously been established. Atrial tachyarrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation, are most common, but ventricular arrhythmias, including those related to treatment-induced QT prolongation, and bradyarrhythmias can also occur. However, the association between chemotherapeutic agents and atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia (AVRT)/atrioventricular node re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) remains poorly understood. Here, we report a patient with new-onset AVRT/AVNRT and lung cancer who underwent chemotherapy. We considered that chemotherapy or cancer itself may have been a trigger for the initiation of paroxysmal AVRT/AVNRT, and that radiofrequency catheter ablation was effective in treating this type of tachycardia. Here, possible mechanisms and potential genes (mostly ion channels) involved in AVRT/AVNRT are summarized and the mechanisms underlying the possible regulatory patterns of cancer cells and chemotherapy on ion channels are reviewed. Finally, we considered that ion channel abnormalities may link cancer or chemotherapy to the onset of AVRT/AVNRT. The aim of the present study was to highlight the association between chemotherapeutic agents and AVRT/AVNRT and to provide new insights for future research. Understanding the intermediate mechanisms between chemotherapeutic agents and AVRT/AVNRT may be beneficial in preventing chemotherapy-evoked AVRT/AVNRT (and/or other arrhythmias) in future.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and lung cancer are among the leading causes of mortality worldwide, with a significant interplay that complicates patient management and treatment outcomes. This review explores the complex relationship between various forms of CVD - such as coronary artery disease, heart failure (HF), arrhythmias, and valvular heart disease - and lung cancer. Shared risk factors, including smoking, aging, and chronic inflammation, contribute to the co-occurrence of these conditions. Additionally, treatments for lung cancer, particularly chemotherapy and radiation therapy, can exacerbate CVD, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. We delve into specific CVD-related impacts on lung cancer prognosis and vice versa, examining mechanisms, clinical outcomes, and management strategies. Our findings highlight the need for integrated care involving oncologists, cardiologists, and other healthcare providers to optimize treatment plans and improve patient outcomes. Emphasizing comprehensive cardiovascular risk management in lung cancer patients, we advocate for further research to deepen our understanding and develop novel therapeutic approaches, ultimately enhancing the quality of life and survival rates in patients suffering from both CVD and lung cancer.

Abstract
The global incidence of breast cancer is on the rise, a trend also observed in South Korea. However, thanks to the rapid advancements in anticancer therapies, survival rates are improving. Consequently, post-treatment health and quality of life for breast cancer survivors are emerging as significant concerns, particularly regarding treatment-related cardiotoxicity. In this review, we delve into the cardiovascular complications associated with breast cancer treatment, explore surveillance protocols for early detection and diagnosis of late complications, and discuss protective strategies against cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients undergoing anticancer therapy, drawing from multiple guidelines.

Abstract
Patients with cancer have elevated cardiovascular risks compared to those without cancer. As cancer incidence increases and cancer-related mortality decreases, cardiovascular diseases in patients with a history of cancer will become increasingly important. This in turn is reflected by the exponentially increasing amount of cardio-oncology research in recent years. This narrative review aims to summarize the key existing literature in several main areas of cardio-oncology, including the epidemiology, natural history, prevention, management, and determinants of the cardiovascular health of patients with cancer, and identify relevant gaps in evidence for further research.

Abstract
Cancer remains a major cause of mortality worldwide, and urological cancers are the most common cancers among men. Several therapeutic agents have been used to treat urological cancer, leading to improved survival for patients. However, this has been accompanied by an increase in the frequency of survivors with cardiovascular complications caused by anticancer medications. Here, we propose the novel discipline of uro-cardio-oncology, an evolving subspecialty focused on the complex interactions between cardiovascular disease and urological cancer. In this comprehensive review, we discuss the various cardiovascular toxicities induced by different classes of antineoplastic agents used to treat urological cancers, including androgen deprivation therapy, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and chemotherapeutics. In addition, we discuss possible mechanisms underlying the cardiovascular toxicity associated with anticancer therapy and outline strategies for the surveillance, diagnosis, and effective management of cardiovascular complications. Finally, we provide an analysis of future perspectives in this emerging specialty, identifying areas in need of further research.

Abstract
Significant advances in chemotherapy drugs have reduced mortality in patients with malignant tumors. However, chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity increases the morbidity and mortality of patients, and has become the second leading cause of death after tumor recurrence, which has received more and more attention in recent years. Arrhythmia is one of the common types of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity, and has become a new risk related to chemotherapy treatment, which seriously affects the therapeutic outcome in patients. Traditional Chinese medicine has experienced thousands of years of clinical practice in China, and has accumulated a wealth of medical theories and treatment formulas, which has unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of malignant diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine may reduce the arrhythmic toxicity caused by chemotherapy without affecting the anti-cancer effect. This paper mainly discussed the types and pathogenesis of secondary chemotherapeutic drug-induced arrhythmia (CDIA), and summarized the studies on Chinese medicine compounds, Chinese medicine Combination Formula and Chinese medicine injection that may be beneficial in intervention with secondary CDIA including atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmia and sinus bradycardia, in order to provide reference for clinical prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-induced arrhythmias.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity remains a major cause of drug withdrawal, partially due to lacking predictability of animal models. Additionally, risk of cardiotoxicity following treatment of cancer patients is treatment limiting. It is unclear which patients will develop heart failure following therapy. Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes present an unlimited cell source and may offer individualized solutions to this problem. We developed a platform to predict molecular and functional aspects of cardiotoxicity. Our platform can discriminate between the different cardiotoxic mechanisms of existing and novel anthracyclines Doxorubicin, Aclarubicin, and Amrubicin. Doxorubicin and Aclarubicin unlike Amrubicin substantially affected the transcriptome, mitochondrial membrane integrity, contractile force and transcription factor availability. Cardiomyocytes recovered fully within two or three weeks, corresponding to the intermittent clinical treatment regimen. Our system permits the study of hPSC-cardiomyocyte recovery and the effects of accumulated dose after multiple dosing, allowing individualized cardiotoxicity evaluation, which effects millions of cancer patients treated annually.

[PMID: 39036385 PMCID: PMC11256691 DOI: 10.1016/j.jncc.2024.02.002] [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: 12/12/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis provides an assessment of cardiac vagal tone and consequently global cardiac health as well as systemic condition. In systemic diseases such as cancer and during treatments that affect the whole body, like chemotherapy, the vagus nerve activity is low and deregulated. Some studies focus on using HRV to predict mortality in oncology. However, in cancer patients, systemic alterations substantially increase artifacts during HRV measurement, especially atrial ectopic beats. Moreover, HRV may be altered by various factors (duration and time of measurement, breathing, drugs, and other confounding factors) that alter each metric in different ways. The Standard Deviation of all Normal to Normal intervals (SDNN) is the most commonly used metric to evaluate HRV in oncology, but it does not appear to be specific to the cardiac vagal tone. Thus, cardiac vagal activity diagnosis and vital prognosis of cancer patients can be biased. Our review presents the main HRV metrics that can be currently used in oncology studies and their links with vagus nerve and cancer. We present the influence of external factors and the required duration and time of measurement. Considering all these parameters, this review proposes seven key points for an assessment of HRV and cardiac vagal tone in patients with cancer.

A single-lead ECG based cardiotoxicity detection in patients on polychemotherapy. IJC HEART & VASCULATURE 2024; 50:101336. [PMID: 38304727 PMCID: PMC10831811 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcha.2024.101336] [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: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
Background Anti-cancer treatment can be fraught with cardiovascular complications, which is the most common cause of death among oncological survivors. Without appropriate cardiomonitoring during anti-cancer treatment, it becomes challenging to detect early signs of cardiovascular complications. In order to achieve higher survival rates, it is necessary to monitor oncological patients outpatiently after anti-cancer treatment administration. In this regard, we aim to evaluate the efficacy of single-lead ECG remote monitoring to detect cardiotoxicity in cancer patients with minimal cardiovascular diseases after the first cycle of polychemotherapy. Materials and methods The study included patients 162 patients over 18 years old with first diagnosed different types of solid tumors, planed for adjuvant (within 8 weeks after surgery) or neoadjuvant polychemotherapy. All patients were monitored, outpatiently, during 14-21 days (depending on the regimen of polychemotherapy) after polychemotherapy administration using single-lead ECG. Results QTc > 500 mc prolongation was detected in 8 patients (6.6 %), first-diagnosed arial fibrillation was detected in 11 patients (9 %) in period after chemotherapy administration. Moreover, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction using single-lead ECG after polychemotherapy was detected in 49 (40.1 %) patients with sensitivity 80 %, specificity 95 %, AUC 0.88 (95 % CI, 0.82-0.93). Conclusions The side effects of cancer treatment may cause life-threatening risks. Early identification of cardiotoxicity plays a vital role in the solution of this problem. Using portable devices to detect early cardiotoxicity is a simple, convenient and affordable screening method, that can be used for promptly observation of patients.

Abstract
Cardiac disease associated with cancer treatment is a common adverse effect that is well-treated with appropriate monitoring. However, some cardiac adverse effects with cancer treatment are not well-understood, in particular rituximab-associated ventricular tachycardia. We present the fourth case of rituximab-associated ventricular tachycardia in a patient who is rituximab-naive and who does not have known cardiac disease history. This patient developed non-sustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 14 hours after rituximab was started and 6 hours after it was stopped, and after extensive monitoring including a 30-day event monitor, did not develop further significant runs of ventricular tachycardia.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cardiotoxicity is a common and under-reported side effect of tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKI) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Baseline risk factors may help in risk-stratifying patients at increased risk of cardiotoxicity. This real-world study investigated the effects of baseline risk factors in cardiotoxicity on patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with TKIs and ICIs. METHODS This is a retrospective study carried out at The Royal Marsden Hospital, UK. Newly diagnosed patients with localized or metastatic NSCLC who received anticancer therapy with TKIs and/or ICIs were eligible. Patients who received only chemotherapy were excluded. Patients were followed up from the time of diagnosis until death or discharge. The relationship between cardiotoxicity and risk factors were tested by logistic regression. RESULTS Of 88/451 (19.5%) patients developed cardiotoxicity. Risk factors hypothesized to have a causal relationship with anticancer treatment-induced cardiotoxicity were analyzed. Cardiotoxicity risk was increased with prior diabetes mellitus (OR = 1.93, 95% CI, 1.04-3.61, P = .038), history of smoking (OR = 1.91, 95% CI, 1.13-3.22, P = .016) and presence of baseline cardiovascular disease (OR = 2.03, 95% CI, 1.13-3.64, P = .018). The risk of developing cardiotoxicity increased in patients for smokers with diabetes mellitus (OR = 3.03, 95% CI, 1.40-6.55, P < .01) and for smokers with previous cardiovascular disease (OR = 1.99, 95% CI, 1.03-3.84, P = .041). CONCLUSION Diabetes mellitus, smoking and baseline cardiovascular disease may synergistically contribute to cardiotoxicity when a patient is exposed to potentially cardiotoxic anticancer agents. Risk stratification at baseline may improve cardio-oncology care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Light chain amyloidosis (AL) is a progressive and a fatal disease that primarily affects cardiac tissue. Although the current approach to anti-amyloidosis treatments has managed to reduce amyloidosis morbimortality, the dynamics of cardiac adverse events are unknown. OBJECTIVE to provide evidence about reported cardiac toxicity during treatment of AL amyloidosis through a systematic review of the literature. METHODS A search was performed for registered clinical trials on ClinicalTrials.gov filtered for AL amyloidosis up to December 31, 2022. Studies were filtered by those that reported intervention in patients with AL amyloidosis and that had reported adverse events. The type of study, the intervention performed, and the frequency of reported cardiac adverse events were discriminated from each trial. RESULTS 25 clinical trials were analyzed, representing a population of 1,542 patients, among whom 576 (38.95%) adverse events were reported, 326 being serious (SAE) and 242 nonserious (nSAE). The most frequent SAEs were cardiac failure, atrial fibrillation, and cardiac arrest, while the most frequent nSAEs were palpitations, atrial fibrillation, and sinus tachycardia. CONCLUSION cardiac toxicity during treatment for amyloidosis seems common, and it is important to evaluate the relationship of therapies with its occurrence.

Abstract
Cardio-oncology currently faces one of the greatest challenges in the field of health care. The main goal of this discipline is to ensure that patients treated for cancer do not suffer or die from cardiovascular disease. The number of studies on the mechanisms of heart injury during cancer treatment is constantly increasing. However, there is insufficient data on heart rhythm disorders that may result from this treatment. This issue seems to be particularly important in patients with lung cancer, in whom anticancer therapy, especially radiotherapy, may contribute to the onset of cardiac arrhythmias. The observed relationship between cardiac dosimetry and radiotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity in lung cancer treatment may explain the increased mortality from cardiovascular causes in patients after chest irradiation. Further research is essential to elucidate the role of cardiac arrhythmias in this context. Conversely, recent reports have highlighted the application of stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation (STAR) in the treatment of ventricular tachycardia. This review of available studies on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of arrhythmias in patients treated for lung cancer aims to draw attention to the need for regular cardiological monitoring in this group of patients. Improving cardiac care for patients with lung cancer has the potential to enhance their overall therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim was to provide evidence about the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors of cardiac electrical abnormalities in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivors. METHODS We included all original studies reporting the incidence and/or prevalence of cardiac electrical abnormalities and/or risk factors associated with cardiac electrical abnormalities in childhood ALL survivors (< 21 years old at the time of their initial cancer diagnosis) who were post-treatment. Searches of the databases PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE(R) and Epub Ahead of Print, In-Process, In-Data-Review & Other Non-Indexed Citations, Daily and Versions(R), Ovid All EBM Reviews, Ovid Embase, and ISI Web of Science were completed in May 2023. The risk of bias was assessed using the standard JBI critical appraisal checklists. RESULTS The 11 studies included in this review (N = 1,264 participants) evaluated various parameters, including different cardiac electrical abnormalities. Five studies reported heart rate abnormalities (0-68%), six reported repolarization disorders (0-30%), two reported depolarization disorders (0-1%), seven reported rhythm disturbances or abnormalities (0-100%), four reported conduction disorders (0-10%), and three reported unclassified abnormalities (1-38%). No risk factors were reported. CONCLUSIONS Electrical heart problems have been observed in childhood ALL survivors after completion of treatment. Large prospective studies in childhood ALL survivors, clear definitions of cardiac electrical abnormalities, and comparison with a control group are warranted. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS Cardiac electrical abnormalities induced by chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity in the growing population of childhood ALL survivors need to be better characterized to ensure better long-term follow-up and improve overall survival rate.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an increasingly recognized comorbidity in patients with cancer. Indeed, cancer patients have a significantly higher incidence of AF than that observed in the general population. A reciprocal relationship between these two diseases has been observed, as much as some assume AF to be a marker for occult cancer screening, especially in older adults. The pathophysiological mechanisms are many and varied, including the underlying pro-inflammatory state, specific treatments (chemo- and radiotherapy), and surgery. The therapeutic management of patients with cancer and AF involves the same rhythm and frequency control strategies as the general population; however, the numerous interactions with chemotherapeutics, which lead to a significant increase in side effects, as well as the extreme fragility of the patient, should be considered. Anticoagulant therapy is also a complex challenge to address, as bleeding and stroke risk scores have not been fully assessed in this subpopulation. Furthermore, in large studies establishing the efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), cancer patients have been underrepresented. In this review, we elaborate on the mechanisms linking AF to cancer patients with a particular focus on the therapeutic challenges in this population.

Abstract
Newly approved cancer drugs called ICIs have shown remarkable success in improving patient survival rates, but they also have the potential for inflammatory and immune-related side effects, including those affecting the cardiovascular system. Research has been conducted to understand the development of these toxicities and identify risk factors. This review focuses on the characteristics of ICI-induced cardiotoxicity and discusses the reported risk factors. It is important for cardio-oncologists to understand the basic concepts of these drugs to better understand how cardiotoxicities occur. It might be hard to find reports, where all patients treated with ICIs had developed cardiac toxicity, because there could be other existing and variable factors that influence the likelihood or risk of developing cardiotoxicity during treatment. Various clinical parameters have been explored as potential risk factors, and further investigation is needed through large-scale studies.

Abstract
Cancers and cardiovascular diseases are the top two causes of death in the United States. Over the past decades, novel therapies have slowed the cancer mortality rate, yet cardiac failures have risen due to the toxicity of cancer treatments. The mechanisms behind this relationship are poorly understood and it is crucial that we properly treat patients at risk of developing cardiac failure in response to cancer treatments. Currently, we rely on early-stage biomarkers of inflammation and angiogenesis to detect cardiotoxicity before it becomes irreversible. Identification of such biomarkers allows healthcare professionals to decrease the adverse effects of cancer therapies. Angiogenesis and inflammation have a systemic influence on the heart and vasculature following cancer therapy. In the field of cardio-oncology, there has been a recent emphasis on gender and racial disparities in cardiotoxicity and the impact of these disparities on disease outcomes, but there is a scarcity of data on how cardiotoxicity varies across diverse populations. Here, we will discuss how current markers of angiogenesis and inflammation induced by cancer therapy are related to disparities in cardiovascular health.

Abstract
Recently, prognosis and survival of cancer patients has improved due to progression and refinement of cancer therapies; however, cardiovascular sequelae in this population augmented and now represent the second cause of death in oncological patients. Initially, the main issue was represented by heart failure and coronary artery disease, but a growing body of evidence has now shed light on the increased arrhythmic risk of this population, atrial fibrillation being the most frequently encountered. Awareness of arrhythmic complications of cancer and its treatments may help oncologists and cardiologists to develop targeted approaches for the management of arrhythmias in this population. In this review, we provide an updated overview of the mechanisms triggering cardiac arrhythmias in cancer patients, their prevalence and management.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have emerged as a common and serious complication of cancer treatment, particularly in patients undergoing cardiotoxic therapies. Over the last few years, the medical community has become increasingly aware of the potential for cardiotoxicity resulting from cancer treatments involving chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and radiation therapy. This recognition is due to the significant risk of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients and survivors resulting from such treatment-induced cardiovascular damage. While the cardiotoxic effects of chemotherapy and targeted therapy have been discussed in medical literature, only a limited number of studies have explored the role of serum biomarkers in cardiological risk stratification. In recent years, serum biomarkers have emerged as a valuable tool for assessing and managing cardiotoxicity in patients with hematological malignancies. This review article provides a summary of the current state of knowledge on the usefulness of biomarkers in managing cardiotoxicity resulting from different targeted therapies throughout the cancer care continuum. Although cardiac biomarkers have demonstrated potential in identifying subclinical cardiotoxicity and tracking the response to cardioprotective treatments, further research is necessary to determine optimal biomarkers and surveillance strategies. The incorporation of cardiac biomarkers into clinical practice in patients undergoing targeted therapies could potentially lead to improved long-term cardiovascular outcomes in cancer patients and survivors.

Abstract
Cancer therapies have revolutionized patient survival rates, yet they come with the risk of cardiotoxicity, necessitating effective monitoring and management. The existing guidelines offer a limited empirical basis for practical approaches in various clinical scenarios. This article explores the intricate relationship between cancer therapy and the cardiovascular system, highlighting the role of advanced multimodality imaging in monitoring patients before, during, and after cancer treatment. This review outlines the cardiovascular effects of different cancer therapy classes, offering a comprehensive understanding of their dose- and time-dependent impacts. This paper delves into diverse imaging modalities such as echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, cardiac computed tomography, and nuclear imaging, detailing their strengths and limitations in various conditions due to cancer treatment, such as cardiac dysfunction, myocarditis, coronary artery disease, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, arterial hypertension, valvular heart diseases, and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Moreover, it underscores the significance of long-term follow-up for cancer survivors and discusses future directions.

Abstract
PURPOSE The main dose-limiting toxicity of anthracyclines is cardiotoxicity. Clonal hematopoiesis (CH), somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem or progenitor cells in patients without hematologic malignancy, is also associated with risk for adverse cardiovascular events and worse outcomes overall. We hypothesize that CH increases risk for doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study in patients treated with doxorubicin for cancer (N = 100). Patients (n = 25) had incident symptomatic heart failure, decline in left ventricular ejection fraction, or arrhythmia. CH was identified using paired peripheral blood and tumor DNA. RESULTS After adjusting for age at doxorubicin initiation, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and chest radiation, high cumulative dose of doxorubicin (>240 mg/m2; odds ratio [OR], 7.00; 95% CI, 1.77 to 27.74; P = .0056), CH (OR, 8.58; 95% CI, 2.05 to 35.99; P = .0033), and history of smoking (OR, 3.15; 95% CI, 1.00 to 9.93; P = .0495) were associated with DIC. CONCLUSION This study provides preliminary evidence for CH as a predictive risk factor for DIC, which, with further investigation, could serve as an important precision medicine biomarker for the large number of patients with cancer who have CH.

Abstract
Since their invention in the early 2000s, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have gained prominence as the most effective pathway-directed anti-cancer agents. TKIs have shown significant utility in the treatment of multiple hematological malignancies and solid tumors, including chronic myelogenous leukemia, non-small cell lung cancers, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and HER2-positive breast cancers. Given their widespread applications, an increasing frequency of TKI-induced adverse effects has been reported. Although TKIs are known to affect multiple organs in the body including the lungs, liver, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, thyroid, blood, and skin, cardiac involvement accounts for some of the most serious complications. The most frequently reported cardiovascular side effects range from hypertension, atrial fibrillation, reduced cardiac function, and heart failure to sudden death. The potential mechanisms of these side effects are unclear, leading to critical knowledge gaps in the development of effective therapy and treatment guidelines. There are limited data to infer the best clinical approaches for the early detection and therapeutic modulation of TKI-induced side effects, and universal consensus regarding various management guidelines is yet to be reached. In this state-of-the-art review, we examine multiple pre-clinical and clinical studies and curate evidence on the pathophysiology, mechanisms, and clinical management of these adverse reactions. We expect that this review will provide researchers and allied healthcare providers with the most up-to-date information on the pathophysiology, natural history, risk stratification, and management of emerging TKI-induced side effects in cancer patients.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease and cancer are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the US. Despite the significant progress made in cancer treatment leading to improved prognosis and survival, ventricular arrhythmias (VA) remain a known cardiovascular complication either exacerbated or induced by the direct and indirect effects of both traditional and novel cancer treatments. Although interruption of cancer treatment because of VA is rarely required, knowledge surrounding this issue is essential for optimising the overall care of patients with cancer. The mechanisms of cancer-therapeutic-induced VA are poorly understood. This review will discuss the ventricular conduction (QRS) and repolarisation abnormalities (QTc prolongation), and VAs associated with cancer therapies, as well as existing strategies for the identification, prevention and management of cancer-treatment-induced VAs.

Abstract
The chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin is cardiotoxic and can cause irreversible heart failure. In addition to being cardiotoxic, doxorubicin also induces the activation of coagulation. We determined the effect of thrombin-mediated activation of protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1) on doxorubicin-induced cardiac injury. Administration of doxorubicin to mice resulted in a significant increase in plasma prothrombin fragment 1+2, thrombin-antithrombin complexes, and extracellular vesicle tissue factor activity. Doxorubicin-treated mice expressing low levels of tissue factor, but not factor XII-deficient mice, had reduced plasma thrombin-antithrombin complexes compared to controls. To evaluate the role of thrombin-mediated activation of PAR1, transgenic mice insensitive to thrombin (Par1R41Q) or activated protein C (Par1R46Q) were subjected to acute and chronic models of doxorubicin-induced cardiac injury and compared with Par1 wild-type (Par1+/+) and PAR1 deficient (Par1-/-) mice. Par1R41Q and Par1-/- mice, but not Par1R46Q mice, demonstrated similar reductions in the cardiac injury marker cardiac troponin I, preserved cardiac function, and reduced cardiac fibrosis compared to Par1+/+ controls after administration of doxorubicin. Furthermore, inhibition of Gαq signaling downstream of PAR1 with the small molecule inhibitor Q94 significantly preserved cardiac function in Par1+/+ mice, but not in Par1R41Q mice subjected to the acute model of cardiac injury when compared to vehicle controls. In addition, mice with PAR1 deleted in either cardiomyocytes or cardiac fibroblasts demonstrated reduced cardiac injury compared to controls. Taken together, these data suggest that thrombin-mediated activation of PAR1 contributes to doxorubicin-induced cardiac injury.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. Its prevalence in cancer patients undergoing treatment with radiation or chemotherapeutic agents has been on the rise. The most common offending agents are alkylating agents and anthracyclines causing various types of arrhythmias, including AF. We report a case of a 62-year-old male who was diagnosed with stage IV pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma and was started on chemotherapy with a mesna-ifosfamide and doxorubicin (MAI) regimen. He developed AF with a rapid ventricular rate soon after his second cycle of treatment, which got better with the initiation of beta-blocker therapy. Since low blood counts, including low platelet levels, are expected in patients with chemotherapy, the continual use of anticoagulation therapy varies on a case-to-case basis.

Abstract
Long QT syndrome is a type of disease caused by ion channels in the heart not working properly. It is a rare condition that can affect up to one in 2000 people. Many people with this condition do not develop any symptoms; however, this can lead to heart rhythm abnormality, known as torsades de pointes, and can sometimes be fatal. The cause of this condition is often inherited; however, it can also be triggered by certain medications. But the latter tends to affect those who already tend to develop this condition. The medications causing this condition include antiarrhythmics, antibiotics, antihistamines, antiemetics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, and many more. In this case report, we will be discussing a 63-year-old female who developed long QT syndrome as a result of the multiple drug therapy which is associated with long QT syndrome. Our patient was admitted to the hospital with dyspnoea, fatigue, and weight loss and was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia. The patient was commenced on several medications leading to a prolonged QTc interval which resolved after stopping the culprit medications.

Abstract
Background There are limited data on risk of arrhythmias among patients with lymphoproliferative disorders. We designed this study to determine the risk of atrial and ventricular arrhythmia during treatment of lymphoma in a real-world setting. Methods and Results The study population comprised 2064 patients included in the University of Rochester Medical Center Lymphoma Database from January 2013 to August 2019. Cardiac arrhythmias-atrial fibrillation/flutter, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular arrhythmia, and bradyarrhythmia-were identified using International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to assess the risk of arrhythmic events with treatments categorized as Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi), mainly ibrutinib/non-BTKi treatment versus no treatment. Median age was 64 (54-72) years, and 42% were women. The overall rate of any arrhythmia at 5 years following the initiation of BTKi was (61%) compared with (18%) without treatment. Atrial fibrillation/flutter was the most common type of arrhythmia accounting for 41%. Multivariate analysis showed that BTKi treatment was associated with a 4.3-fold (P<0.001) increased risk for arrhythmic event (P<0.001) compared with no treatment, whereas non-BTKi treatment was associated with a 2-fold (P<0.001) risk increase. Among subgroups, patients without a history of prior arrhythmia exhibited a pronounced increase in the risk for the development of arrhythmogenic cardiotoxicity (3.2-fold; P<0.001). Conclusions Our study identifies a high burden of arrhythmic events after initiation of treatment, which is most pronounced among patients treated with the BTKi ibrutinib. Patients undergoing treatments for lymphoma may benefit from prospective focused cardiovascular monitoring prior, during, and after treatment regardless of arrhythmia history.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation and complete atrioventricular block are two well-established arrhythmias that can share common aetiologies and risk factors. Although the two arrhythmias can co-exist, only a limited number of cases of atrial fibrillation complicated by complete atrioventricular block have been reported. Correct recognition is essential due to the risk of sudden cardiac death. A 78-year-old female with known atrial fibrillation presented with a 1-week history of shortness of breath, chest tightness and dizziness. On assessment, she was bradycardic with a heart rate of 38 bpm, despite the absence of any rate-limiting medication. Electrocardiography revealed an absence of P waves with a regular ventricular rhythm, consistent with a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation complicated by complete atrioventricular block. This case highlights the diagnostic electrocardiography features of co-existing atrial fibrillation with complete atrioventricular block that are often misinterpreted, leading to a delay in correct diagnosis and initiation of definitive management. Upon diagnosis, it is essential to exclude the reversible causes of complete atrioventricular block before considering permanent pacing. In particular, this includes rate-limiting medications in patients with pre-existing arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation and electrolyte disturbances.

Electrophysiological evaluation of an anticancer drug gemcitabine on cardiotoxicity revealing down-regulation and modification of the activation gating properties in the human rapid delayed rectifier potassium channel. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0280656.

Abstract
Gemcitabine is an antineoplastic drug commonly used in the treatment of several types of cancers including pancreatic cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Although gemcitabine-induced cardiotoxicity is widely recognized, the exact mechanism of cardiac dysfunction causing arrhythmias remains unclear. The objective of this study was to electrophysiologically evaluate the proarrhythmic cardiotoxicity of gemcitabine focusing on the human rapid delayed rectifier potassium channel, hERG channel. In heterologous hERG expressing HEK293 cells (hERG-HEK cells), hERG channel current (IhERG) was reduced by gemcitabine when applied for 24 h but not immediately after the application. Gemcitabine modified the activation gating properties of the hERG channel toward the hyperpolarization direction, while inactivation, deactivation or reactivation gating properties were unaffected by gemcitabine. When gemcitabine was applied to hERG-HEK cells in combined with tunicamycin, an inhibitor of N-acetylglucosamine phosphotransferase, gemcitabine was unable to reduce IhERG or shift the activation properties toward the hyperpolarization direction. While a mannosidase I inhibitor kifunensine alone reduced IhERG and the reduction was even larger in combined with gemcitabine, kifunensine was without effect on IhERG when hERG-HEK cells were pretreated with gemcitabine for 24 h. In addition, gemcitabine down-regulated fluorescence intensity for hERG potassium channel protein in rat neonatal cardiomyocyte, although hERG mRNA was unchanged. Our results suggest the possible mechanism of arrhythmias caused by gemcitabine revealing a down-regulation of IhERG through the post-translational glycosylation disruption possibly at the early phase of hERG channel glycosylation in the endoplasmic reticulum that alters the electrical excitability of cells.

Abstract
Recent advances have significantly expanded the options of available therapeutics for cancer treatment, including novel targeted cancer therapies. Within this broad category of targeted therapies is the class of kinase inhibitors (KIs), which target kinases that have undergone aberrant activation in cancerous cells. Although KIs have shown a benefit in treating various forms of malignancy, they have also been shown to cause a wide array of cardiovascular toxicities, with cardiac arrhythmias, in particular atrial fibrillation (AF), being 1 of the predominant side effects. The occurrence of AF in patients undergoing cancer treatment can complicate the treatment approach and poses unique clinical challenges. The association of KIs and AF has led to new research aimed at trying to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Furthermore, there are unique considerations to treating KI-induced AF because of the anticoagulant properties of some KIs as well as drug-drug interactions with KIs and some cardiovascular medications. Here, we review the current literature pertaining to KI-induced AF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advances in cancer therapeutics have improved overall survival and prognosis in this patient population; however, this has come at the expense of cardiotoxicity including arrhythmia. SUMMARY Cancer and its therapies are associated with cardiotoxicity via several mechanisms including inflammation, cardiomyopathy, and off-target effects. Among cancer therapies, anthracyclines and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are particularly known for their pro-arrhythmia effects. In addition to cardiomyopathy, anthracyclines may be pro-arrhythmogenic via reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and altered calcium handling. TKIs may mediate their cardiotoxicity via inhibition of off-target tyrosine kinases. Ibrutinib-mediated inhibition of CSK may be responsible for the increased prevalence of atrial fibrillation. Further investigation is warranted to further elucidate the mechanisms behind arrhythmias in cancer therapies. KEY MESSAGES Arrhythmias are a common cardiotoxicity of cancer therapies. Cancer therapies may induce arrhythmias via off-target effects. Understanding the mechanisms underlying arrhythmogenesis associated with cancer therapies may help design cancer therapies that can avoid these toxicities.

Abstract
Background Risk of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients is under-reported. We assessed the association of HNSCC-related factors and traditional risk factors with 1- and 5-year CVD risk in HNSCC patients without prevalent CVD at cancer diagnosis. Methods A clinical cohort of 1,829 HNSCC patients diagnosed between 2012 and 2018, at a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer center was included. Information on HNSCC-related factors [HNSCC anatomical subsite, stage at diagnosis, treatment, and tumor human papillomavirus (HPV) status] were extracted from the tumor registry. Data on traditional risk factors (hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, tobacco smoking status, and obesity) were extracted from the electronic health records system (EHR) at baseline (HNSCC diagnosis). A composite of ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and ischemic stroke was the outcome of interest in time to event analysis. Hazard ratio (HR) (95% CI) were reported with death as a competing risk. Results In patients diagnosed with HNSCC, 10.61% developed incident CVD events by 1-year post cancer diagnosis. One-year CVD risk was lower in patients using antihypertensive medications at baseline, compared to patients without baseline hypertension [HR (95% CI): 0.41 (0.24-0.61)]. One-year CVD risk was high in patients receiving HNSCC surgery. Patients receiving radiation therapy had a higher 5-year CVD risk than surgery patients [HR (95% CI): 2.17 (1.31-3.04)]. Patients using antihypertensive medications had a lower 5-year CVD risk than patients without baseline hypertension [HR (95% CI): 0.45 (0.22-0.75)]. Older age and diabetes were associated with increased 1- and 5-year CVD risk. HPV-negative patients were older (p 0.006) and had a higher 5-year cumulative incidence of CVD (p 0.013) than HPV-positive patients. Conclusion Traditional risk factors and cancer-related factors are associated with CVD risk in HNSCC patients. Future research should investigate the role of antihypertensive medications in reducing CVD risk in HNSCC patients.

Abstract
Introduction Drug-induced prolongation of the heart rate-corrected QT interval (QTc) is associated with increased risk for the potentially fatal arrhythmia torsades de pointes. Due to arrhythmia risk, clinical trials with cancer therapeutics often exclude patients based on thresholds for QTc prolongation. Our objective was to assess associations between prescriptions for QT-prolonging drugs and the odds of meeting cancer trial exclusionary QTc thresholds in a cohort of adults with advanced cancer. Methods Electronic health records were retrospectively reviewed for 271 patients seen at our institutional molecular solid tumor clinic. Collected data included demographics, QTc measurements, ventricular arrhythmia-related diagnoses, and all inpatient and outpatient prescriptions. Potential associations were assessed between demographic and clinical variables, including prescriptions for QT-prolonging drugs, and QTc measurements. Results Women had longer median QTc measurements than men (p = 0.030) and were prescribed more QT-prolonging drugs during the study (p = 0.010). In all patients, prescriptions for QT-prolonging drugs were associated with longer median and maximum QTc measurements at multiple assessed time points (i.e., for QT-prolonging drugs prescribed within 10, 30, 60, and 90 days of QTc measurements). Similarly, the number of QT-prolonging drugs prescribed was correlated with longer median and maximum QTc measurements at multiple time points. Common QTc-related exclusionary criteria were collected from a review of ClinicalTrials.gov for recent cancer clinical trials. Based on common exclusion criteria, prescriptions for QT-prolonging drugs increased the odds of trial exclusion. Conclusion This study demonstrates that prescriptions for QT-prolonging drugs were associated with longer QTc measurements and increased odds of being excluded from cancer clinical trials.

Abstract
Abstract
Advances in treatment, common cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and the ageing of the population have led to an increasing number of cancer patients presenting with acute CV diseases. These events may be related to cancer itself or cancer treatment. Acute cardiac care specialists must be aware of these acute CV complications and be able to manage them. This may require an individualized and multidisciplinary approach. The management of acute coronary syndromes and acute pericardial diseases in cancer patients was covered in part 1 of a clinical consensus document. This second part focusses on acute heart failure, acute myocardial diseases, venous thromboembolic diseases and acute arrhythmias.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Cancer therapy has made major progress in the past several decades, but treatments are often accompanied by significant side effects. Arrhythmias are a widespread complication of some antineoplastic drugs, with atrial fibrillation (AF) being the most often encountered drug-associated arrhythmia. Preexisting AF risk factors are commonly present in cancer patients who develop drug-associated AF, and active cancer itself may cause or promote AF. Although anticancer drugs may induce AF in cancer patients without AF risk factors, it appears that most drug-associated AF develop when cancer drugs add or aggravate precancer-existing and/or cancer-related pro-AF factors/alterations, additively or synergistically producing AF. Abnormalities in intracellular calcium activity seem to be involved in the generation of anticancer drug-induced AF. In cancer survivors with cancer therapy-induced cardiomyopathy, AF often occurs, with most of the arrhythmias likely to develop secondary to the cardiomyopathy. AF may lead to modification or even cessation of cancer therapy. The management of AF in patients with cancer is currently conducted largely based on pragmatic assumptions. This review briefly discusses AF caused by anticancer drugs and the underlying mechanisms.

Neurotoxic Effect of Doxorubicin Treatment on Cardiac Sympathetic Neurons. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231911098. [PMID: 36232393 PMCID: PMC9569551 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231911098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Revised: 09/14/2022] [Accepted: 09/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOXO) remains amongst the most commonly used anti-cancer agents for the treatment of solid tumors, lymphomas, and leukemias. However, its clinical use is hampered by cardiotoxicity, characterized by heart failure and arrhythmias, which may require chemotherapy interruption, with devastating consequences on patient survival and quality of life. Although the adverse cardiac effects of DOXO are consolidated, the underlying mechanisms are still incompletely understood. It was previously shown that DOXO leads to proteotoxic cardiomyocyte (CM) death and myocardial fibrosis, both mechanisms leading to mechanical and electrical dysfunction. While several works focused on CMs as the culprits of DOXO-induced arrhythmias and heart failure, recent studies suggest that DOXO may also affect cardiac sympathetic neurons (cSNs), which would thus represent additional cells targeted in DOXO-cardiotoxicity. Confocal immunofluorescence and morphometric analyses revealed alterations in SN innervation density and topology in hearts from DOXO-treated mice, which was consistent with the reduced cardiotropic effect of adrenergic neurons in vivo. Ex vivo analyses suggested that DOXO-induced denervation may be linked to reduced neurotrophic input, which we have shown to rely on nerve growth factor, released from innervated CMs. Notably, similar alterations were observed in explanted hearts from DOXO-treated patients. Our data demonstrate that chemotherapy cardiotoxicity includes alterations in cardiac innervation, unveiling a previously unrecognized effect of DOXO on cardiac autonomic regulation, which is involved in both cardiac physiology and pathology, including heart failure and arrhythmias.

Abstract
DeepLabCut (DLC) is a deep learning-based tool initially invented for markerless pose estimation in mammals. In this study, we explored the possibility of adopting this tool for conducting markerless cardiac physiology assessment in an important aquatic toxicology model of zebrafish (Danio rerio). Initially, high-definition videography was applied to capture heartbeat information at a frame rate of 30 frames per second (fps). Next, 20 videos from different individuals were used to perform convolutional neural network training by labeling the heart chamber (ventricle) with eight landmarks. Using Residual Network (ResNet) 152, a neural network with 152 convolutional neural network layers with 500,000 iterations, we successfully obtained a trained model that can track the heart chamber in a real-time manner. Later, we validated DLC performance with the previously published ImageJ Time Series Analysis (TSA) and Kymograph (KYM) methods. We also evaluated DLC performance by challenging experimental animals with ethanol and ponatinib to induce cardiac abnormality and heartbeat irregularity. The results showed that DLC is more accurate than the TSA method in several parameters tested. The DLC-trained model also detected the ventricle of zebrafish embryos even in the occurrence of heart abnormalities, such as pericardial edema. We believe that this tool is beneficial for research studies, especially for cardiac physiology assessment in zebrafish embryos.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cancer-related mortality has significantly declined over the past several decades as a result of improved screening, diagnostics, and therapeutics. Although cancer patients and survivors are living longer, there is increased risk of both short-term and long-term cardiovascular complications, including arrhythmia. In this review, we highlight the current evidence detailing the connections between atrial fibrillation and cancer, provide insight into the mechanisms driving this relationship, and share practical considerations for the management of atrial fibrillation in cancer patients and cancer survivors. RECENT FINDINGS Atrial fibrillation is an increasingly recognized condition among cancer patients, with epidemiological data showing increased incidence and worse outcomes in patients with cancer. Studies also describe a bidirectional relationship between cancer and atrial fibrillation, attributable in part to shared risk factors but also potentially due to shared biology. Cancer treatment-associated arrhythmia is an active area of investigation, with ongoing research to identify the mechanisms and pathophysiology behind this phenomenon. Furthermore, management of atrial fibrillation in patients with cancer presents unique challenges, particularly in management of anti-coagulation. Cancer patients have increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation due to the shared risk factors and biology of the two conditions. Moreover, various cancer therapeutics are known to be arrhythmogenic; however, mechanisms remain unclear. Further research is needed to better understand the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation in cancer patient in order to establish prevention and treatment strategies specific to this population.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a disorder of clonal plasma cells characterized by deposition of amyloid fibrils in a variety of tissues, leading to end-organ injury. Renal or cardiac involvement is most common, though any organ outside the central nervous system can develop amyloid deposition, and symptomatic presentations may consequently vary. The variability and subtlety of initial clinical presentations may contribute to delayed diagnoses, and organ involvement is often quite advanced and symptomatic by the time a diagnosis is established. Additionally, while organ function can improve with plasma-cell-directed therapy, such improvement lags behind hematologic response. Consequently, highly effective supportive care, including symptom management, is essential to improve quality of life and to maximize both tolerance of therapy and likelihood of survival. Considering the systemic nature of the disease, close collaboration between clinicians is essential for effective management.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are used to treat several cancers; however, a myriad of adverse cardiotoxic effects remain a primary concern. Although hypertension (HTN) is the most common adverse effect reported with TKI therapy, incidents of arrhythmias (eg, QT prolongation, atrial fibrillation) and heart failure are also prevalent. These complications warrant further research toward understanding the mechanisms of TKI-induced cardiotoxicity. Recent literature has given some insight into the intracellular signaling pathways that may mediate TKI-induced cardiac dysfunction. In this article, we discuss the cardiotoxic effects of TKIs on cardiomyocyte function, signaling, and possible treatments.

Abstract
Antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) play an important role in the management of arrhythmias. Drug interactions involving AAD are common in clinical practice. As AADs have a narrow therapeutic window, both pharmacokinetic as well as pharmacodynamic interactions involving AAD can result in serious adverse drug reactions ranging from arrhythmia recurrence, failure of device-based therapy, and heart failure, to death. Pharmacokinetic drug interactions frequently involve the inhibition of key metabolic pathways, resulting in accumulation of a substrate drug. Additionally, over the past 2 decades, the P-gp (permeability glycoprotein) has been increasingly cited as a significant source of drug interactions. Pharmacodynamic drug interactions involving AADs commonly involve additive QT prolongation. Amiodarone, quinidine, and dofetilide are AADs with numerous and clinically significant drug interactions. Recent studies have also demonstrated increased morbidity and mortality with the use of digoxin and other AAD which interact with P-gp. QT prolongation is an important pharmacodynamic interaction involving mainly Vaughan-Williams class III AAD as many commonly used drug classes, such as macrolide antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, antipsychotics, and antiemetics prolong the QT interval. Whenever possible, serious drug-drug interactions involving AAD should be avoided. If unavoidable, patients will require closer monitoring and the concomitant use of interacting agents should be minimized. Increasing awareness of drug interactions among clinicians will significantly improve patient safety for patients with arrhythmias.

Abstract
Background Anticoagulation among patients with cancer and atrial fibrillation is challenging due to elevated risk of bleeding and stroke. We characterized use of oral anticoagulants among patients with cancer and non‐valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Methods We used Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)‐Medicare data and included patients with cancer aged ≥66 years with an incident diagnosis of NVAF from 2010 to 2016. We used a Cox proportional hazard model and multivariable logistic regression to identify factors associated with anticoagulant use versus no use and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) versus warfarin use, respectively. Results Of 27,702 patients with cancer and NVAF, 4469 (16.1%) used DOACs and 3577 (12.9%) used warfarin. Among 8046 anticoagulant users, DOACs use increased from 21.8% in 2011 to 76.2% in 2016, with a corresponding decline in warfarin use from 78.2% to 23.8%. Nearly 7 out of 10 patients with cancer and NVAF did not initiate anticoagulation in 2016. Anticoagulant use was more likely among those with higher CHA₂DS₂‐VASc scores (hazard ratio [HR] 1.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.27–1.90 for score ≥6 vs. 1) or with lower HAS‐BLED scores (HR 1.96, 95% CI 1.67–2.30 for score 1 vs. ≥6). Among anticoagulant users, DOAC use was less likely than warfarin in those with higher CHA₂DS₂‐VASc scores (odds ratio [OR] 0.53, 95% CI 0.33–0.84 for score ≥6 vs. 1). Conclusions Nearly 7 out of 10 patients with cancer and NVAF did not receive anticoagulation. Use of DOACs increased from 2010 to 2016, with a corresponding decline in warfarin use. DOACs are used less than warfarin among those at higher risk of stroke.
