Jun 29 2018 Most available guidelines focus on treatment induced cardiac dysfunction and heart failure HF primarily associated with anthracycline toxicity because this is the most commonly recognized treatment related cardiovascular issue.
Cardiotoxicity can develop during cancer treatmentorcan occur within days or months or years after cancer treatment once patients are cancer free. Heart damage caused by chemotherapy induced cardiotoxicity can reduce quality of life and increase the risk of death from cardiac related causes.
Many of these toxicities are reversible but they may limit the use and length of treatment and compromise its efficacy. Oncologists are often the first to diagnose chemotherapy related cardiac dysfunction although patients with advanced cardiotoxicity are referred to
When a cardiologist is asked to evaluate the cardiac toxic effects of chemotherapy he/she can use several tools ECG echocardiography coronary angiography ventriculography and cardiac MRI. Of all these the fastest and easiest to use is the ECG which can provide information on the occurrence of cardiac toxic effects and can show early signs of subclinical cardiac damage.
A clear example of the difficulties in arriving at a consensus regarding the cardiovascular toxicity of ABC can be drawn from the fact that opposing conclusions were reached by different groups analyzing the same cohort namely the Veterans Health Administration Clinical Case Registry well suited given the age and level of baseline risk
May 20 2013 Although the term cardiotoxicity generally refers to heart damage as a result of treatment specifically this has been used most commonly to describe left ventricular LV systolic dysfunction and heart failure HF related to certain types of chemotherapy. 7 9 Although LV systolic dysfunction and HF are the focus of this report it is
Jan 03 2007 Heart conduction disorders seemed to progress slowly from bundle branch block including left anterior hemiblock or 1st and 2nd AVB to complete AVB. In some cases heart conduction disorders preceded congestive heart failure. Associated toxicity was frequent and included myopathy retinopathy neuropathy and/or skin colouration.

More potent longer acting drugs tend to be more toxic. The signs and symptoms of lidocaine induced CNS toxicity are shown in Fig.1 Initial symptoms are
May 03 2015 If your heart rate skyrockets upon ingestion of a particular drug it is something that needs to be medically supervised. In some cases of anticholinergic toxicity a person’s heart rate increase may lead to other serious problems. High blood pressure It is known that blood pressure may also increase during anticholinergic toxicity. If blood

Despite having reasonable safety profiles in the treatment of malaria and certain autoimmune conditions both drugs are known to have potential cardiotoxic side effects. There is a high incidence of myocardial injury and arrhythmia reported with COVID 19 infection and as such this population may be more susceptible to this side effect profile.
The cardiovascular toxicity of drugs and related agents attracts considerable attention from basic scientists to clinicians. Cardiovascular diseases are among the most significant determinants of morbidity and mortality in the developed countries therefore it is important that any negative impact of drugs or toxins on this system is not
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to review the current evidence for pharmacological treatment of cardiovascular toxicity resulting from cocaine abuse. METHODS MEDLINE PsycINFO Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects DARE OpenGrey Google Scholar and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to November 2015. Articles
Sep 14 2021 Treatment of Cardiovascular Toxicity Prolonged PR QRS and QT intervals potentiating reentrant tachycardias with aberrant conduction may herald cardiovascular toxicity. Cardiac resuscitation of such patients may be difficult and prolonged 30 45 min because some anesthetics are very lipid soluble and require a long time for redistribution.

Jul 01 2020 INTRODUCTION. Cocaine is among the most commonly used illicit recreational drugs worldwide. Because even casual use of cocaine may be associated with acute or chronic cardiovascular toxicity the large numbers of exposed individuals may present with sequelae related to the cardiovascular system.
This ESMO consensus manuscript recommends best practices for the care of cancer patients exposed to potential cardiotoxic therapy including chemotherapeutic agents targeted therapies and radiotherapy.

Crocus species are mainly distributed in North Africa Southern and Central Europe and Western Asia used in gardens and parks as ornamental plants while Crocus sativus L. saffron is the only species that is cultivated for edible purpose. The use of saffron is very ancient besides the use as a spice saffron has long been known also for its medical and coloring qualities.
Cardio oncology is an emerging field of cardiology that focuses on cardiovascular diseases in patients with cancer. The classic cardio oncology paradigm is the prevention diagnosis and treatment of cardiotoxicity resulting from chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. Diagnosis and treatment of primary and metastatic cardiac tumours as well as cardiac amyloidosis can be
