Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cancers are the main causes of death, therefore oncological patient often suffers from cardiologic disease. Intensive chemotherapy improves the prognosis, reduces mortality and lengthens life of oncological patients but it is also connected with applying of potentially cardiotoxic drugs. In this article, we presented the risk factors of CVDs and the methods of its individual estimation in order to perform qualification and treatment monitoring in subjects at baseline increased risk of cardiac disease. We described treatment of myocardial ischemia, hypertension and congestive heart failure in this patients. On example of anthracyclines and trastuzumab the mechanisms of the cardiotoxicity of drugs used in oncology, monitoring of potentially cardiotoxic treatment and strategies to reduce cardiovascular toxicity were presented.
