Cardiovascular Complications in Cancer Patients

Cancer patients can face cardiovascular complications due to the disease itself and its treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation. These therapies can affect heart function, increase blood pressure, damage blood vessels, and lead to fatigue or heart rhythm problems. Additionally, the stress of cancer and its treatments may contribute to lifestyle changes, like reduced physical activity, which can further impact heart health. Monitoring and managing these cardiovascular risks is crucial for improving overall health and treatment outcomes in cancer patients. Awareness and proactive care can help minimize these complications.
