Sex differences in anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity: the benefits of estrogens

2019

Anthracyclines are the cornerstone for many oncologic treatments, but their cardiotoxicity has been recognized for several decades. Female subjects, especially before puberty and adolescence, or after menopause, seem to be more at increased risk, with the prognostic impact of this sex issue being less consistent compared to other cardiovascular risk factors. Several studies imply that sex differences could depend on the lack of the protective effect of sex hormones against the anthracycline-initiated damage in cardiac cells, or on differential mitochondria-related oxidative gene expression. This is also reflected by the results obtained with different diagnostic methods, such as cardiovascu…

IMPAIRMENT OF DIASTOLIC FUNCTION DURING SHORT-TERM ANTHRACYCLINE CHEMOTHERAPY

1995

International audience; Abstract: Objective-To assess the early changes in left ventricular diastolic and systolic function due to anthracycline treatment. Design-A prospective study of cardiac function by radionuclide angiography in adults before and one month after the end of anthracycline treatment. Patients-60 patients without cardiac disease treated with chemotherapy containing anthracycline. Methods-Cardiac function was assessed by radionuclide measurement throughout treatment. Ejection fraction, peak ejection rate, time to peak ejection rate, filling rate, and time to peak filling rate were measured before and after treatment, To normalise radionuclide measurements of the left ventri…
