Cardiac Safety in Cancer Treatments

Cardiac safety in cancer treatments refers to monitoring and managing the heart health of patients undergoing cancer therapies. Some cancer treatments, like certain chemotherapy drugs and targeted therapies, can strain the heart and lead to issues such as weakened heart function or arrhythmias. Healthcare providers assess patients' heart conditions before and during treatment through tests and regular check-ups. By doing so, they aim to minimize cardiovascular risks, ensuring that the cancer treatment is effective while also protecting the patient's heart health, ultimately improving overall outcomes in cancer care.
