Management of Radiation-related Cardiovascular Disease

Management of radiation-related cardiovascular disease involves monitoring and treating heart issues that can arise after cancer treatment, particularly radiation therapy. Cardio-oncology is a specialized field that focuses on the heart health of cancer patients. This includes regular check-ups, imaging tests, and lifestyle changes like a heart-healthy diet and exercise. Medications may be used to control blood pressure or cholesterol. The goal is to detect problems early and prevent serious heart conditions, ensuring patients maintain their overall health while managing their cancer treatment. A team of oncologists and cardiologists work together for comprehensive care.
