Statement of Need
Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the United States, exceeded only by heart disease, with an estimated 1.8 million new cases in 2020. Cancer treatment can have a diverse array of long-term and late effects, including cardiovascular events such as heart failure, valvular damage, coronary artery disease, and cardiac dysfunction. In this contemporary treatment era, cardiologists, oncologists, and the entire interprofessional team need to understand the different types of cancer therapies (e.g., cytotoxic chemotherapy, radiation therapy, transplantation, targeted and immune therapies) to help mitigate the associated cardiovascular complications.

Goal
The goal of this course is to improve awareness, identification, monitoring, and management of cardiovascular disease and conditions, and minimize cardiotoxicity from anticancer therapies to improve overall survival and quality of life of the oncology patient.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, participants will be able to:

  • Discuss the different types, oncologic indications, and mechanisms of action of conventional and modern cancer therapies, their associated cardiotoxicities, and the risks of developing cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease.
  • Recognize guideline recommendations regarding risk stratification, monitoring, and management strategies to mitigate cardiovascular risk in the oncology patient.
  • Apply evidence-based strategies for short- and long-term surveillance and management of cardiotoxicities in patients with active cancer and survivors who have been treated with high cardiovascular risk systemic therapies including, but not limited to, anthracyclines, androgen deprivation therapies, hormone therapies, HER2+ targeted therapies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, stem cell transplantation, and radiation therapy.
  • Define the evidence behind the role of preventive and therapeutic pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions in the management of cardiotoxicity.
    Recognize the overlap between cancer and cardiovascular disease, independent of the cardiotoxicity of cancer therapies (e.g., clonal hematopoiesis, epidemiologic risk factors, basic mechanisms).
  • Discuss the pathophysiologic basis of amyloidosis, as well as diagnostic and treatment strategies.
  • Design an interprofessional cardio-oncology care team and a framework to improve the overall cardiovascular care of cancer patients and survivors.
  • Describe the impact of health disparities, genomic ancestry, and social determinants of health in cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Target Audience
This educational activity is intended to address the educational needs of cardiologists, oncologists, internists, pharmacists, nurses, and all members of the interprofessional care team who provide healthcare to the growing population of cancer patients and survivors with cardiovascular concerns.
