Onco-Cardiology

Onco-cardiology is a specialized field that focuses on managing heart health in patients undergoing cancer treatment. Some cancer therapies can affect the heart’s function, leading to complications like heart failure or irregular rhythms. Onco-cardiologists work to prevent, monitor, and treat these issues, ensuring that patients can receive effective cancer treatments while protecting their cardiovascular health. This multidisciplinary approach helps improve overall outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients by balancing cancer therapy benefits with heart safety.
