Cardio-Oncology

Cardio-oncology is a specialized field that focuses on the heart health of cancer patients and survivors. Many cancer treatments, like chemotherapy and radiation, can affect the heart, leading to potential issues such as heart failure or high blood pressure. Cardio-oncologists work to monitor and manage these risks, ensuring that patients receive safe cancer treatments while protecting their heart health. This collaboration between cardiologists and oncologists aims to improve overall outcomes and quality of life for those affected by both heart disease and cancer.
