Presentation Title:

Risk factors and prevention of cardiovascular complications in breast cancer

Abstract

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant tumor in women. At an early stage, in patients who have undergone antitumor treatment at an early stage of BC, death in the long term occurs more often from cardiovascular diseases (CVD) than from oncopoptosis.

Numerous studies indicate that the risk of cardiomyopathy and/or heart failure, coronary heart disease among survivors of BC treatment who received anthracyclines and/or trastuzumab increases. Currently, early detection of cardiotoxicity using cardiac imaging and circulating cardiovascular biomarkers is widely evaluated in clinical trials. 

On the other hand, the high CVD risk observed in cured breast cancer survivors is a consequence of both the adverse effects of cancer therapy on the cardiovascular system, including antiestrogens, and the presence of common cancer and CVD risk factors.

Large clinical trials have reported higher rates of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and ischemic CVD in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors receiving aromatase inhibitors.

Strategies for the prevention and treatment of left ventricular dysfunction or heart failure associated with treatment in patients with breast cancer should include a comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular risk and individual clinical assessment.
