description

Heart failure (HF) and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction are the most concerning and serious cardiovascular complications of cancer therapies and cause an increase in morbidity and mortality. Some cancer treatments induce left ventricular dysfunction that appears early after exposure and therefore may adversely affect oncological therapy, while others generate cardiac injuries resulting in clinical problems only years later.
