"Cardio-Oncology: Protecting Hearts During Cancer Treatment"
Cancer treatments have saved millions of lives — but they can also take a toll on the heart. That's where Cardio-Oncology steps in, an emerging field dedicated to protecting cardiovascular health in patients undergoing cancer therapy.
Chemotherapies, targeted therapies, and even radiation can lead to heart complications like cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, or heart failure. With more people surviving cancer today, the long-term side effects on the heart are becoming more apparent — making proactive heart care essential.
Cardio-Oncology teams — made up of cardiologists, oncologists, and other specialists — work together to monitor heart function before, during, and after cancer treatment. Their mission is simple but critical: detect heart problems early, personalize treatments to minimize damage, and ensure patients not only beat cancer but also maintain a healthy heart.
Innovations like echocardiography monitoring, cardioprotective medications, and lifestyle interventions are at the core of this multidisciplinary approach. Early involvement of a cardio-oncologist can significantly improve outcomes, especially for high-risk individuals.
As research grows, Cardio-Oncology is paving the way for a future where saving lives from cancer doesn't come at the cost of heart health. Because true survivorship means protecting the whole patient — mind, body, and heart.
