Abstract
BACKGROUND Variants in cardiomyopathy genes have been identified in patients with cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD), suggesting a genetic predisposition for the development of CTRCD. The diagnostic yield of genetic testing in a CTRCD population compared to a cardiomyopathy patient cohort is not yet known and information on which genes should be assessed in this population is lacking. METHODS We retrospectively included 46 cancer patients with a history of anthracycline induced CTRCD (defined as a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) to < 50% and a ≥ 10% reduction from baseline by echocardiography). Genetic testing was performed for 59 established cardiomyopathy genes. Only variants of uncertain significance and (likely) pathogenic variants were included. Diagnostic yield of genetic testing was compared with a matched cohort of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM, n = 46) and a matched cohort of patients without cardiac disease (n = 111). RESULTS Average LVEF at time of CTRCD diagnosis was 30.1 ± 11.0%. Patients were 52.9 ± 14.6 years old at time of diagnosis and 30 (65.2%) were female. Most patients were treated for breast cancer or lymphoma, with a median doxorubicin equivalent dose of 300 mg/m2 [112.5-540.0]. A genetic variant, either pathogenic, likely pathogenic or of uncertain significance, was identified in 29/46 (63.0%) of patients with CTRCD, which is similar to the DCM cohort (34/46, 73.9%, p = 0.262), but significantly higher than in the negative control cohort (47/111, 39.6%, p = 0.018). Variants in TTN were the most prevalent in the CTRCD cohort (43% of all variants). All (likely) pathogenic variants identified in the CTRCD cohort were truncating variants in TTN. There were no significant differences in severity of CTRCD and in recovery rate in variant-harbouring individuals versus non-variant harbouring individuals. CONCLUSIONS In this case-control study, cancer patients with anthracycline-induced CTRCD have an increased burden of genetic variants in cardiomyopathy genes, similar to a DCM cohort. If validated in larger prospective studies, integration of genetic data in risk prediction models for CTRCD may guide cancer treatment. Moreover, genetic results have important clinical impact, both for the patient in the setting of precision medicine, as for the family members that will receive genetic counselling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding cancer treatment-related cardiovascular (CV) events is important for cancer care; however, comprehensive evaluation of CV events in patients with lung cancer is limited. This study aimed to assess the cumulative incidence and associated risks of various CV event types in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS A total of 7868 individuals aged 40 years and older, recently diagnosed with NSCLC (2007-2018), were assessed with data obtained from the National Cancer Center, Korea. This study included nine types of CV events. A 2-year cumulative incidence function (CIF) of CV events was estimated, with death as a competing event. The associated risks were assessed by subdistribution hazard ratio (sHR) in the Fine-Gray competing risks model. RESULTS CV events were observed in 7.8% of patients with NSCLC, with the most frequently observed types being atrial fibrillation and flutter (AF) (2.7%), venous thromboembolic disease (2.0%), and cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) (1.5%). Overall, all CV events were highest in the group treated with systemic therapy (CIF, 10.6%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 9.5%-11.8%), followed by those treated with surgery (CIF, 10.0%; 95% CI, 8.6%-11.6%); the incidence of AF (CIF, 5.7%; 95% CI, 4.6%-7.0%) was highest in patients treated with surgery. Individuals treated with systemic therapy were found to exhibit a higher CeVD risk than those treated with surgery (sHR, 4.12; 95% CI, 1.66-10.23). Among the patients who underwent surgery, those with lobectomy and pneumonectomy had a higher AF risk (vs. wedge resection/segmentectomy; sHR, 7.79; 95% CI, 1.87-32.42; sHR, 8.10; 95% CI, 1.60-40.89). CONCLUSIONS These findings revealed treatment-related CV event risks in patients with NSCLC, which suggests that the risk of AF in surgery and CeVD in systemic therapy should be paid more attention to achieve a better prognosis and improve cancer survivorship outcomes. PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY Atrial fibrillation and flutter (AF) is the most common cardiovascular event, particularly at a high risk in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing surgery. Patients receiving surgery with poor performance status, diagnosed with regional stage, and undergoing lobectomy or pneumonectomy are at a high risk of AF. Systemic/radiotherapy is associated with cerebrovascular and ischemic heart disease in patients with NSCLC.

Abstract
Cancer and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally, with many shared risk factors. There are several challenges to the management of patients with cancer presenting with ACS, owing to their higher baseline risk profile, the complexities of their cancer-related therapies and prognosis, and their higher risk of adverse outcomes after ACS. Although previous studies have demonstrated disparities in the care of both cancer and ACS among patients from ethnic minorities and socioeconomic deprivation, there is limited evidence around the magnitude of such disparities specifically in cancer patients presenting with ACS. This review summarises the current literature on differences in prevalence and management of ACS among patients with cancer from ethnic minorities and socioeconomically deprived backgrounds, as well as the gaps in evidence around the care of this high-risk population and potential solutions.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a very heterogeneous disease with multiple symptoms and clinical manifestations. MM affects mainly elderly patients and is difficult to manage in the presence of comorbidities, polypharmacy, frailty and adverse events of disease-targeted drugs. The rapid changes in MM treatment resulting from constant innovations in this area, together with the introduction of numerous new drugs with distinct mechanisms of action and toxicity profiles, have led to an increased complexity in the therapeutic decision-making and patient management processes. The prolonged exposure to novel agents, sometimes in combination with conventional therapies, makes this management even more challenging. A careful balance between treatment efficacy and its tolerability should be considered for every patient. During treatment, a close monitoring of comorbidities, disease-related manifestations and treatment side effects is recommended, as well as a proactive approach, with reinforcement of information and patient awareness for the early recognition of adverse events, allowing prompt therapeutic adjustments. In this review, we discuss various issues that must be considered in the treatment of MM patients, while giving practical guidance for monitoring, prevention and management of myeloma-related manifestations and treatment-related toxicities.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used chemotherapeutic drug known to cause dose-dependent myocardial toxicity, which limits its clinical potential. DL-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP), a substance extracted from celery seed species, has a number of pharmacological properties, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic actions. However, whether NBP can protect against DOX-induced acute myocardial toxicity is still unclear. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the potential protective effects of NBP against DOX-induced acute myocardial injury and its underlying mechanism. By injecting 15 mg/kg of DOX intraperitoneally, eight-week-old male C57BL6 mice suffered an acute myocardial injury. The treatment group of mice received 80 mg/kg NBP by gavage once daily for 14 days. To mimic the cardiotoxicity of DOX, 1uM DOX was administered to H9C2 cells in vitro. In comparison to the DOX group, the results showed that NBP improved cardiac function and decreased serum levels of cTnI, LDH, and CK-MB. Additionally, HE staining demonstrated that NBP attenuated cardiac fibrillar lysis and breakage in DOX-treated mouse hearts. Western blotting assay and immunofluorescence staining suggested that NBP attenuated DOX-induced oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation both in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, NBP significantly upregulated the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, while the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 prevented NBP from protecting the myocardium from DOX-induced myocardial toxicity in vitro. In conclusion, Our results indicate that NBP alleviates DOX-induced myocardial toxicity by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Doxorubicin (DOX) emerges as a cornerstone in the arsenal of potent chemotherapeutic agents. Yet, the clinical deployment of DOX is tarnished by its proclivity to induce severe cardiotoxic effects, culminating in heart failure and other consequential morbidities. In response, a panoply of strategies has undergone rigorous exploration over recent decades, all aimed at attenuating DOX's cardiotoxic impact. The advent of encapsulating DOX within lipidic or polymeric nanocarriers has yielded a dual triumph, augmenting DOX's therapeutic efficacy while mitigating its deleterious side effects. AREAS COVERED Recent strides have spotlighted the emergence of DOX conjugates as particularly auspicious avenues for ameliorating DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. These conjugates entail the fusion of DOX through physical or chemical bonds with diminutive natural or synthetic moieties, polymers, biomolecules, and nanoparticles. This spectrum encompasses interventions that impinge upon DOX's cardiotoxic mechanism, modulate cellular uptake and localization, confer antioxidative properties, or refine cellular targeting. EXPERT OPINION The endorsement of DOX conjugates as a compelling stratagem to mitigate DOX-induced cardiotoxicity resounds from this exegesis, amplifying safety margins and the therapeutic profile of this venerated chemotherapeutic agent. Within this ambit, DOX conjugates stand as a beacon of promise in the perpetual pursuit of refining chemotherapy-induced cardiac compromise.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 2022 ESC Guidelines on Cardio-Oncology recommend baseline cardiovascular risk stratification before starting anticancer drugs, using the new risk assessment tools proposed by the Heart Failure Association (HFA) and the International Cardio-Oncology Society (ICOS).Our study aimed to assess the clinical application of HFA/ICOS risk score in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and its usefulness in predicting the development of chemotherapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). METHODS A prospective multicentric study enrolled 109 breast cancer patients treated with anthracyclines with or without trastuzumab. A cardiological evaluation, including ECG and echocardiogram at baseline (T0), 3 (T1), 6 (T2), and 12 months (T3) after starting treatment was performed. HFA/ICOS score was assessed in all patients. The population was divided into low, medium, high, and very-high risk.During follow-up, CTRCD and other cardiovascular events have been evaluated. RESULTS 61 patients were low risk, 37 medium, 9 high, 2 very-high risk criteria. We found a significantly higher incidence of overall cardiotoxicity (CTRCD and other cardiovascular events) in the very-high risk group (100%) compared with the medium (29%) and low risk groups (13%). CTRCD incidence was also significantly higher in the high risk group (55%). CTRCD resulted as being associated with baseline arterial hypertension and baseline HFA/ICOS risk score of high ( p = 0.006) or very-high ( p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Our study confirms the HFA/ICOS score's ability to predict cardiovascular toxicity in breast cancer women and the need for close monitoring especially in high and very-high risk patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer (BC) treatment with anthracyclines and/or anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) antibodies is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease complications, including cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). While Cardio-Oncology Rehabilitation (CORe) programs including exercise have emerged to minimize these risks, its role in preventing CTRCD is unclear. OBJECTIVES We investigated the effectiveness of an exercise-based CORe program in preventing CTRCD [left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) drop ≥10% to a value <53% or a decrease >15% in global longitudinal strain (GLS)]. Secondary outcomes examined changes in cardiac biomarkers, physical performance including peak oxygen consumption, psychometric and lifestyle outcomes. Safety, adherence, and patient satisfaction were also assessed. METHODS This is a randomized controlled trial including 122 early-stage BC women receiving anthracyclines and/or anti-HER2 antibodies, randomized to CORe (n = 60) or usual care with exercise recommendation (n = 62). Comprehensive assessments were performed at baseline and after cardiotoxic treatment completion. The average duration of the intervention was 5.8 months. RESULTS No cases of CTRCD were identified during the study. LVEF decreased in both groups, but was significantly attenuated in the CORe group [-1.5% (-2.9, -0.1); p = 0.006], with no changes detected in GLS or cardiac biomarkers. The CORe intervention led to significant body mass index (BMI) reduction (p = 0.037), especially in obese patients [3.1 kg/m2 (1.3, 4.8)]. Physical performance and quality-of-life remained stable, while physical activity level increased in both groups. No adverse events were detected. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that CORe programs are safe and may help attenuate LVEF decline in BC women receiving cardiotoxic therapy and reduce BMI in obese patients.

Abstract
Background Anti-cancer treatment can be fraught with cardiovascular complications, which is the most common cause of death among oncological survivors. Without appropriate cardiomonitoring during anti-cancer treatment, it becomes challenging to detect early signs of cardiovascular complications. In order to achieve higher survival rates, it is necessary to monitor oncological patients outpatiently after anti-cancer treatment administration. In this regard, we aim to evaluate the efficacy of single-lead ECG remote monitoring to detect cardiotoxicity in cancer patients with minimal cardiovascular diseases after the first cycle of polychemotherapy. Materials and methods The study included patients 162 patients over 18 years old with first diagnosed different types of solid tumors, planed for adjuvant (within 8 weeks after surgery) or neoadjuvant polychemotherapy. All patients were monitored, outpatiently, during 14-21 days (depending on the regimen of polychemotherapy) after polychemotherapy administration using single-lead ECG. Results QTc > 500 mc prolongation was detected in 8 patients (6.6 %), first-diagnosed arial fibrillation was detected in 11 patients (9 %) in period after chemotherapy administration. Moreover, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction using single-lead ECG after polychemotherapy was detected in 49 (40.1 %) patients with sensitivity 80 %, specificity 95 %, AUC 0.88 (95 % CI, 0.82-0.93). Conclusions The side effects of cancer treatment may cause life-threatening risks. Early identification of cardiotoxicity plays a vital role in the solution of this problem. Using portable devices to detect early cardiotoxicity is a simple, convenient and affordable screening method, that can be used for promptly observation of patients.

Abstract
AIMS Oncological patients suspected at risk for cardiotoxicity are recommended to undergo intensified cardiological surveillance. We investigated the value of cardiac biomarkers and patient-related risk factors [age, cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs), and cardiac function] for the prediction of all-cause mortality (ACM) and the development of cardiotoxicity. METHODS AND RESULTS Between January 2016 and December 2020, patients with oncological diseases admitted to the Cardio-Oncology Unit at the Heidelberg University Hospital were included. They were evaluated by medical history, physical examination, 12-lead electrocardiogram, 2D echocardiography, and cardiac biomarkers [high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)]. The primary endpoint was defined as ACM and the secondary endpoint was defined as cardiotoxicity, as defined by the European Society of Cardiology. Of the 1971 patients enrolled, the primary endpoint was reached by 490 patients (25.7%) with a median of 363.5 [interquartile range (IQR) 121.8, 522.5] days after presentation. Hs-cTnT of ≥ 7 ng/L [odds ratio (OR) 1.82, P < 0.001] and NT-proBNP (OR 1.98, P < 0.001) were independent predictors of ACM, while reduced left ventricular ejection fraction was not associated with increased ACM (P = 0.85). The secondary endpoint was reached by 182 patients (9.2%) with a median of 793.5 [IQR 411.2, 1165.0] days. Patients with multiple CVRFs (defined as high risk, n = 886) had an increased risk of cardiotoxicity (n = 100/886, 11.3%; hazard ratio 1.57, P = 0.004). They showed elevated baseline values of hs-cTnT (OR 1.60, P = 0.006) and NT-proBNP (OR 4.00, P < 0.001) and had an increased risk of ACM (OR 1.43, P = 0.031). CONCLUSIONS In cancer patients, CVRF accumulation predicts cardiotoxicity whereas elevated hs-cTnT or NT-proBNP levels are associated with ACM. Accordingly, less intensive surveillance protocols may be warranted in patients with low cardiac biomarker levels and absence of CVRFs.

Abstract
Recent advances in cancer therapy have significantly improved the survival rate of patients with cancer. In contrast, anti-cancer drug-induced adverse effects, especially cardiotoxicity, have come to affect patients' prognosis and quality of life. Therefore, there is a growing need to understand the anti-cancer drug-induced cardiotoxicity. Human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) have been used to assess drug-induced cardiotoxicity by improving the predictability of clinical cardiotoxicity and the principles of the 3Rs (replacement, reduction and refinement). To predict the anti-cancer drug-induced cardiotoxicity, we developed a novel method to assess drug-induced proarrhythmia risk using hiPSC-CMs by participating in the international validation. In addition, we established the chronic contractility toxicity assessment by image-based motion analysis. The compound BMS-986094, which was withdrawn from clinical trials, inhibited contractility velocity and relaxation velocity in hiPSC-CMs. Currently, we are trying to investigate the predictability of the contractility assay by comparing the hiPSC-CM data with adverse events reports from real-world database. In this review, we would like to introduce the novel imaging-based contractility method using hiPSC-CMs and future perspectives in anti-cancer drug-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Anthracyclines are the most fundamental and important treatment of several cancers especially for lymphoma and breast cancer. However, their use is limited by a dose-dependent cardiotoxicity which may emerge early at the initiation of anthracycline administration or several years after termination of the therapy. A full comprehending of the mechanisms of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity, which has not been achieved and is currently under the efforts, is critical to the advance of developing effective methods to protect against the cardiotoxicity, as well as to early detect and treat it. Therefore, we review the recent progress of the mechanism underlying anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity, as well as approaches to monitor and prevent this issue.

Abstract
AIM Cardiotoxicity is a serious side effect of anthracycline treatment, most commonly manifesting as a reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Early recognition and treatment have been advocated, but robust, convenient and cost-effective alternatives to cardiac imaging are missing. Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) techniques applied to electrocardiograms (ECGs) may fill this gap, but no study so far has demonstrated its merit for the detection of an abnormal LVEF after anthracycline therapy. METHODS Single center consecutive cohort study of all breast cancer patients with ECG and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) evaluation before and after (neo)adjuvant anthracycline chemotherapy. Patients with HER-2-directed therapy, metastatic disease, second primary malignancy or pre-existing cardiovascular disease were excluded from the analyses as were patients with LVEF decline for reasons other than anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. Primary readout was the diagnostic performance of AI-ECG by area under the curve (AUC) for LVEFs <50%. RESULTS Of 989 consecutive female breast cancer patients, 22 developed a decline in LVEF attributed to anthracycline therapy over a follow-up time of 9.83 ± 4.2 years. After exclusion of patients who did not have an ECGs within 90 days of a TTE, 20 cases and 683 controls remained. The AI-ECG model detected an LVEF <50% and ≤35% after anthracycline therapy with an AUC of 0.93 and 0.94, respectively. CONCLUSIONS These data support the use of AI-ECG for cardiotoxicity screening after anthracycline-based chemotherapy. This technology could serve as a gatekeeper to more costly cardiac imaging and could enable patients to monitor themselves over long periods of time.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity has been widely observed, yet the specific impact on cardiac fibroblasts is not fully understood. Additionally, the modulation of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway by DOX remains to be fully elucidated. This study investigated DOX's ability to modulate the expression of genes and proteins involved in the TGF-β signaling cascade in mouse fibroblasts from two sources by assessing the impact of DOX treatment on TGF-β inducible expression of pivotal genes and proteins within fibroblasts. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (NIH3T3) and mouse primary cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) were treated with DOX in the presence of TGF-β1 to assess changes in protein levels by western blot and changes in mRNA levels by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Our results revealed a dose-dependent reduction in cellular communication network factor 2 (CCN2) protein levels upon DOX treatment in both NIH3T3 and CFs, suggesting an antifibrotic activity by DOX in these fibroblasts. However, DOX only inhibited the TGF-β1 induced expression of COL1 in NIH3T3 cells but not in CFs. In addition, we observed that DOX treatment reduced the expression of BMP1 in NIH3T3 but not primary cardiac fibroblasts. No significant changes in SMAD2 protein expression and phosphorylation in either cells were observed after DOX treatment. Finally, DOX inhibited the expression of Atf4 gene and increased the expression of Cdkn1a, Id1, Id2, Runx1, Tgfb1, Inhba, Thbs1, Bmp1, and Stat1 genes in NIH3T3 cells but not CFs, indicating the potential for cell-specific responses to DOX and its modulation of the TGF-β signaling pathway.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Females outnumber males among long-term cancer survivors, primarily as a result of the prevalence of breast cancer. Late cardiovascular effects of cancer develop over several decades, which for many women, may overlap with reproductive and lifecycle events. Thus, women require longitudinal cardio-oncology care that anticipates and responds to their evolving cardiovascular risk. RECENT FINDINGS Women may experience greater cardiotoxicity from cancer treatments compared to men and a range of treatment-associated hormonal changes that increase cardiometabolic risk. Biological changes at critical life stages, including menarche, pregnancy, and menopause, put female cancer patients and survivors at a unique risk of cardiovascular disease. Women also face distinct psychosocial and physical barriers to accessing cardiovascular care. We describe the need for a lifespan-based approach to cardio-oncology for women. Cardio-oncology care tailored to women should rigorously consider cancer treatment/outcomes and concurrent reproductive/hormonal changes, which collectively shape quality of life and cardiovascular outcomes.

Abstract
As a novel anticancer therapy, chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cell therapy may lead to cardiotoxic reactions. However, the exact incidence remains unclear. Our study aimed to preliminarily assess the prevalence of cardiotoxicity after CAR T cell treatment using a systematic review and meta-analysis. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were searched for potentially relevant studies. All types of relevant clinical studies were screened and assessed for risk bias. In most instances, random-effect models were used for data analysis, and heterogeneity between studies was evaluated. Standard quality assessment tools were used to assess quality. The study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022304611). Eight eligible studies comprising 3567 patients, including seven observational studies and one controlled study, were identified. The incidence of cardiovascular events was 16.7% [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.138-0.200, P < 0.01)]. Arrhythmia was the most common disorder, with an incidence of 6.5% (95% CI 0.029-0.115, P < 0.01). The occurrence of cardiotoxicity was associated with cytokine release syndrome (CRS), with a prevalence of 18.7% (95% CI 0.107-0.315, P < 0.01). Moreover, such adverse reactions were more common when CRS > 2 (OR = 0.07, 95% CI 0.02-0.29, P < 0.01). The risk of cardiotoxicity was not notably higher in patients receiving CAR T cell therapy than in those receiving traditional anticancer treatment. However, sufficient attention should be paid to this. And further evidence from large-scale clinical trials are needed.

Abstract
Background Rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma B-type (BRAF) and mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK) inhibitors have revolutionized treatment for patients with BRAF-mutated melanoma. Although left ventricular systolic dysfunction associated with these therapies has been reported in clinical trials, the real-world incidence is poorly defined, as are risk factors for its development. Objectives This study sought to characterize the incidence, time course, and risk factors for cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) in patients with melanoma receiving BRAF and MEK inhibitors. Methods Patients with melanoma treated with BRAF and MEK inhibitors at a cancer hospital network between June 1, 2017, and June 30, 2020, were included retrospectively. CTRCD was defined as mild, moderate, or severe according to International Cardio-Oncology Society (ICOS) definitions. Baseline cardiotoxicity risk stratification was performed using the Heart Failure Association/ICOS tool. Results Of the 63 patients included, 27% developed CTRCD (17% mild and 10% moderate). No patients developed severe CTRCD or symptomatic heart failure. CTRCD occurred most frequently in patients considered to be at "low" and "medium" baseline risk of cardiotoxicity (82%). The baseline left ventricular ejection fraction and global longitudinal strain were not different in patients who developed moderate CTRCD vs those who did not. Left ventricular internal diameters in diastole and systole were larger in patients who developed moderate CTRCD compared with those who did not (left ventricular internal diameter in diastole: 4.9 ± 0.6 cm vs 4.3 ± 0.6 cm; P = 0.023; left ventricular internal diameter in systole: 3.3 ± 0.4 cm vs 2.8 ± 0.5 cm; P = 0.039). Conclusions BRAF and MEK inhibitor-associated CTRCD is common. The utility of the Heart Failure Association/ICOS risk stratification tool appears limited in this group, and better risk prediction tools are needed. The long-term consequences of CTRCD, particularly mild CTRCD, warrant evaluation in larger prospective studies.

Abstract
AIMS The role of left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) in the diagnosis of subclinical cardiac damage induced by anticancer drugs is now consolidated. Considering some strain disadvantages such as the dependence on the haemodynamic loading conditions, the aim of our study was to investigate the usefulness of non-invasive myocardial work indices (MWI) derived from pressure-strain analysis, in the early diagnosis of cardiotoxicity. METHODS AND RESULTS We enrolled 61 consecutive patients with breast cancer undergoing adjuvant treatment with anthracycline-containing chemotherapy followed by taxane + trastuzumab. Patients underwent a cardiological evaluation with 2D echocardiography including measurement of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and other conventional parameters of systolic and diastolic function, GLS and MWI at baseline (T0), 3 months (T1) and 6 months (T2) after starting chemotherapy. At T1 and T2, we did not find a significant reduction in LVEF but we found a significant reduction in GLS and MWI (p value < 0.05). In addition, at T2, 31% of patients developed subclinical cardiac dysfunction defined as a relative decrease ≥ 12% of GLS from baseline. Global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW) and global work efficiency (GWE) decreased significantly in both patients with subclinical dysfunction and in those without subclinical dysfunction (p value < 0.05). Patients with subclinical dysfunction at T2 showed lower values of GCW at T0. CONCLUSION MWI changed significantly during chemotherapy and appeared to alter precociously compared to GLS. Therefore, a multiparametric approach including left ventricular GLS and MWI measurements should be used in the evaluation of patients undergoing cardiotoxic antineoplastic treatment.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, especially among the aging population. The "response-to-injury" model proposed by Dr. Russell Ross in 1999 emphasizes inflammation as a critical factor in atherosclerosis development, with atherosclerotic plaques forming due to endothelial cell (EC) injury, followed by myeloid cell adhesion and invasion into the blood vessel walls. Recent evidence indicates that cancer and its treatments can lead to long-term complications, including CVD. Cellular senescence, a hallmark of aging, is implicated in CVD pathogenesis, particularly in cancer survivors. However, the precise mechanisms linking premature senescence to CVD in cancer survivors remain poorly understood. This article aims to provide mechanistic insights into this association and propose future directions to better comprehend this complex interplay.

Abstract
Aortic valve stenosis and malignancy frequently coexist and share the same risk factors as atherosclerotic disease. Data reporting the prognosis of patients with severe aortic stenosis and cancer are limited. Tailoring the correct and optimal care for cancer patients with severe aortic stenosis is complex. Cancer patients may be further disadvantaged by aortic stenosis if it interferes with their treatment by increasing the risk associated with oncologic surgery and compounding the risks associated with cardiotoxicity and heart failure (HF). Surgical valve replacement, transcatheter valve implantation, balloon valvuloplasty, and medical therapy are possible treatments for aortic valve stenosis, but when malignancy is present, the choice between these options must take into account the stage of cancer and associated treatment, expected outcome, and comorbidities. Physical examination and Doppler echocardiography are critical in the diagnosis and evaluation of aortic stenosis. The current review considers the available data on the association between aortic stenosis and cancer and the therapeutic options.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Anthracycline-related left ventricular dysfunction (ARLVD) is a concern in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergoing anthracyclinecontaining induction chemotherapy. However, the incidence of ARLVD in the modern era of routine pretreatment left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) echocardiographic assessment, as well as the clinical and genetic predictors of ARLVD are not well understood. METHODS Consecutive adult patients with AML receiving anthracycline-containing induction chemotherapy at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute from 2014 to 2022 were studied. Inclusion criteria included availability of a pre and post chemotherapy echocardiogram to assess the LVEF, pre-treatment LVEF > 50 %, as well as comprehensive diagnostic next generation sequencing assessing for the presence of myeloid mutations. The primary endpoint was the incidence of ARLVD defined as LVEF < 50 % post-induction. RESULTS Out of 419 patients meeting inclusion criteria, 34 (8%) patients developed ARLVD. Among the 122/419 patients who did not undergo planned allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT), ARLVD was the deciding factor for ineligibility in 4 patients (1%). Baseline cardiovascular comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, smoking and coronary artery disease) and cumulative anthracycline dose were not predictive of post-induction ARLVD. However, the presence of a JAK2 mutation (but not other myeloid mutations) was associated with an increased risk of ARLVD in multivariable analysis (OR 8.34, 95 % CI 1.55-39.3, p = 0.007). DISCUSSION In a group of AML patients with normal LVEF prior to anthracycline-containing induction chemotherapy, ARLVD was infrequent and did not commonly preclude post-remission allo-SCT consolidation. Genetic predictors of ARLVD require further investigation in a larger patient cohort.

Abstract
Radiation therapy in the thoracic region may deliver incidental ionizing radiation to the surrounding healthy structures, including the heart. Radio-induced heart toxicity has long been a concern in breast cancer and Hodgkin's lymphoma and was deemed a long-term event. However, recent data highlight the need to limit the dose to the heart in less favorable thoracic cancers too, such as lung and esophageal cancers in which incidental irradiation led to increased mortality. This article will summarize available cardiac dose constraints in various clinical settings and the types of radio-induced cardiovascular diseases encountered as well as delineation of cardiac subheadings and management of cardiac devices. Although still not completely deciphered, heart dose constraints remain intensively investigated and the mean dose to the heart is no longer the only dosimetric parameter to consider since the left anterior descending artery as well as the left ventricle should also be part of dosimetry constraints.

Abstract
Doxorubicin, a widely used chemotherapeutic drug in clinical oncology, causes a series of cardiac side effects referred to as doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Hyperhomocysteinaemia is an independent risk factor for multiple cardiovascular diseases. However, whether hyperhomocysteinaemia contributes to doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity is currently unknown. In this study, we explored the pathogenic effects of hyperhomocysteinaemia induced by dietary methionine supplementation (2% wt/wt in rodent chow) in a mouse model of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Our data showed that methionine supplementation doubled serum homocysteine levels, inducing mild hyperhomocysteinaemia. Doxorubicin at a cumulative dosage of 25 mg/kg body weight led to significant weight loss and severe cardiac dysfunction, which were further exacerbated by methionine-induced mild hyperhomocysteinaemia. Doxorubicin-induced cardiac atrophy, cytoplasmic vacuolisation, myofibrillar disarray and loss, as well as cardiac fibrosis, were also exacerbated by methionine-induced mild hyperhomocysteinaemia. Additional folic acid supplementation (0.006% wt/wt) prevented methionine-induced hyperhomocysteinaemia and inhibited hyperhomocysteinaemia-aggravated cardiac dysfunction and cardiomyopathy. In particular, hyperhomocysteinaemia increased both serum and cardiac oxidative stress, which could all be inhibited by folic acid supplementation. Therefore, we demonstrated for the first time that hyperhomocysteinaemia could exacerbate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in mice, and the pathogenic effects of hyperhomocysteinaemia might at least partially correlate with increased oxidative stress and could be prevented by folic acid supplementation. Our study provides preliminary experimental evidence for the assessment of hyperhomocysteinaemia as a potential risk factor for chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity in cancer patients.

Abstract
Cancer and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) often share common risk factors, and patients with CVD who develop cancer are at high risk of experiencing major adverse cardiovascular events. Additionally, cancer treatment can induce short- and long-term adverse cardiovascular events. Given the improvement in oncological patients' prognosis, the burden in this vulnerable population is slowly shifting towards increased cardiovascular mortality. Consequently, the field of cardio-oncology is steadily expanding, prompting the need for new markers to stratify and monitor the cardiovascular risk in oncological patients before, during, and after the completion of treatment. Advanced non-invasive cardiac imaging has raised great interest in the early detection of CVD and cardiotoxicity in oncological patients. Nuclear medicine has long been a pivotal exam to robustly assess and monitor the cardiac function of patients undergoing potentially cardiotoxic chemotherapies. In addition, recent radiotracers have shown great interest in the early detection of cancer-treatment-related cardiotoxicity. In this review, we summarize the current and emerging nuclear cardiology tools that can help identify cardiotoxicity and assess the cardiovascular risk in patients undergoing cancer treatments and discuss the specific role of nuclear cardiology alongside other non-invasive imaging techniques.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an extensively used chemotherapeutic agent that can cause severe and frequent cardiotoxicity, which limits its clinical application. Although there have been extensive researches on the cardiotoxicity caused by DOX, there is still a lack of effective treatment. It is necessary to understand the molecular mechanism of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and search for new therapeutic targets which do not sacrifice their anticancer effects. Mitochondria are considered to be the main target of cardiotoxicity caused by DOX. The imbalance of mitochondrial dynamics characterized by increased mitochondrial fission and inhibited mitochondrial fusion is often reported in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, which can result in excessive ROS production, energy metabolism disorders, cell apoptosis, and various other problems. Also, mitochondrial dynamics disorder is related to tumorigenesis. Surprisingly, recent studies show that targeting mitochondrial dynamics proteins such as DRP1 and MFN2 can not only defend against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity but also enhance or not impair the anticancer effect. Herein, we summarize mitochondrial dynamics disorder in DOX-induced cardiac injury. Furthermore, we provide an overview of current pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions targeting proteins involved in mitochondrial dynamics to alleviate cardiac damage caused by DOX.

Abstract
The advent of BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeted therapy revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. Mitochondria are the key organelles for the maintenance of myocardial tissue homeostasis. However, cardiotoxicity associated with BCR-ABL1 TKIs can directly or indirectly cause mitochondrial damage and dysfunction, playing a pivotal role in cardiomyocytes homeostatic system and putting the cancer survivors at higher risk. In this review, we summarize the cardiotoxicity caused by BCR-ABL1 TKIs and the underlying mechanisms, which contribute dominantly to the damage of mitochondrial structure and dysfunction: endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, mitochondrial stress, damage of myocardial cell mitochondrial respiratory chain, increased production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS), and other kinases and other potential mechanisms of cardiotoxicity induced by BCR-ABL1 TKIs. Furthermore, detection and management of BCR-ABL1 TKIs will promote our rational use, and cardioprotection strategies based on mitochondria will improve our understanding of the cardiotoxicity from a mitochondrial perspective. Ultimately, we hope shed light on clinical decision-making. By integrate and learn from both research and practice, we will endeavor to minimize the mitochondria-mediated cardiotoxicity and reduce the adverse sequelae associated with BCR-ABL1 TKIs.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for half of all HF diagnoses, and its prevalence is increasing at an alarming rate. Lately, it has been recognized as a clinical syndrome due to diverse underlying etiology and pathophysiological mechanisms. The classic echocardiographic features of HFpEF have been well described as preserved ejection fraction (≥50%), left ventricular hypertrophy, and left atrial enlargement. However, echocardiography can play a key role in identifying the principal underlying mechanism responsible for HFpEF in the individual patient. The recognition of different phenotypic presentations of HFpEF (infiltrative, metabolic, genetic, and inflammatory) can assist the clinician in tailoring the appropriate management, and offer prognostic information. The goal of this review is to highlight several key phenotypes of HFpEF and illustrate the classic clinical scenario and echocardiographic features of each phenotype with real patient cases.

Abstract
3D-speckle tracking echocardiography(3D-STE) allows simultaneous assessment of ejection fraction(EF) and multidirectional strains, but its prognostic utility in the general population is unknown. We investigated if 3D-STE strains predicted a composite of major cardiac endpoints(MACE) beyond cardiovascular risk factors(CVDRF), and whether they were superior to 3D-EF. 529 participants in SABRE, a UK-based tri-ethnic general population cohort (69±6y; 76.6% male) with acceptable 3D-STE imaging were studied. Associations between 3D-EF or multidirectional myocardial strains and MACE(coronary heart disease(fatal/non-fatal), heart failure hospitalization, new-onset arrhythmia and cardiovascular mortality) were determined using Cox regression including adjustment for CVDRF and 2D-EF. Whether 3D-EF, global longitudinal strain(3D-GLS) and principle tangential strain(3D-PTS/3D-strain) improved cardiovascular risk stratification over CVDRF was investigated using a likelihood ratio test on a series of nested Cox proportional hazards models and Harrell's C statistics. During follow-up(median, 12y), there were 92 events. 3D-EF, 3D-GLS and 3D-PTS and 3D-RS were associated with MACE in unadjusted and models adjusted for CVDRF but not CVDRF+2D-EF. Compared to 3D-EF, both 3D-GLS and 3D-PTS slightly improved the predictive value over CVDRF for MACE, but the improvement was modest(C statistic increased from 0.698(0.647, 0.749) to 0.715(0.663, 0.766) comparing CVDRF with CVDRF +3D-GLS). 3D-STE-derived LV myocardial strains predicted MACE in a multi-ethnic general population sample of elderly individuals from the UK; however the added prognostic value of 3D-STE myocardial strains was small.

Abstract
There are no effective therapeutic targets or strategies that simultaneously inhibit tumour growth and promote cardiac function recovery. Here, we analyzed targets for cancer treatments and cardiac repair, with demethylation emerging as a common factor in these candidate lists. As DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) majorly responds to methylation, a natural compound library is screened, identifying dioscin as a novel agent targeted at DNMT1, widely used for heart diseases. Dioscin was found to reduce DNMT activities and inhibits growth in breast cancer cells. Combined with analyses of RNA-seq and MeDIP-seq, the promoters of antioxidant genes were demethylated after dioscin, recruiting NRF2 and elevating their expression. In Nrf2 knockout mice, the cardiac protection role of dioscin was blocked by Nrf2-loss. Furthermore, in tumour-bearing mice with hypertrophy, dioscin was observed to inhibit tumour growth and alleviate cardiac injury simultaneously. This study is the first to identify dioscin as a novel demethylation agent with dual functions of anti-cancer and cardio-protection.

Abstract
Since the utilization of anthracyclines in cancer therapy, severe cardiotoxicity has become a major obstacle. The major challenge in treating cancer patients with anthracyclines is minimizing cardiotoxicity without compromising antitumor efficacy. Herein, histone deacetylase SIRT6 expression was reduced in plasma of patients treated with anthracyclines-based chemotherapy regimens. Furthermore, overexpression of SIRT6 alleviated doxorubicin-induced cytotoxicity in cardiomyocytes, and potentiated cytotoxicity of doxorubicin in multiple cancer cell lines. Moreover, SIRT6 overexpression ameliorated doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity and potentiated antitumor efficacy of doxorubicin in mice, suggesting that SIRT6 overexpression could be an adjunctive therapeutic strategy during doxorubicin treatment. Mechanistically, doxorubicin-impaired mitochondria led to decreased mitochondrial respiration and ATP production. And SIRT6 enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy by deacetylating and inhibiting Sgk1. Thus, SIRT6 overexpression coordinated metabolic remodeling from glycolysis to mitochondrial respiration during doxorubicin treatment, which was more conducive to cardiomyocyte metabolism, thus protecting cardiomyocytes but not cancer cells against doxorubicin-induced energy deficiency. In addition, ellagic acid, a natural compound that activates SIRT6, alleviated doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity and enhanced doxorubicin-mediated tumor regression in tumor-bearing mice. These findings provide a preclinical rationale for preventing cardiotoxicity by activating SIRT6 in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, but also advancing the understanding of the crucial role of SIRT6 in mitochondrial homeostasis.

Abstract
Background Recently, the survival rate of patients with cancer has improved annually due to advancements in cancer diagnosis and treatment technologies. Meanwhile, late-onset complications associated with cancer treatment significantly affect survival and quality of life. However, different from pediatric cancer survivors, there is no unified view on the follow-up of late complications in elderly cancer survivors. We reported a case of congestive heart failure as a late-onset complication of doxorubicin (DXR) in an elderly cancer survivor. Case report The patient is an 80-year-old woman with hypertension and chronic renal failure. She received six cycles of chemotherapy for Hodgkin's lymphoma that started in January 201X-2. The total dose of DXR was 300 mg/m2, and a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) performed in October 201X-2, showed good left ventricular wall motion (LVWM). In April 201X, she suddenly developed dyspnea. Upon arrival at the hospital, a physical examination revealed orthopnea, tachycardia, and leg edema. A chest radiograph showed cardiac enlargement and pleural effusion. A TTE showed diffusely reduced LVWM and a left ventricular ejection fraction in the 20% range. After close examination, the patient was diagnosed with congestive heart failure due to late-onset DXR-induced cardiomyopathy. Conclusion Late-onset DXR-induced cardiotoxicity is considered high-risk from 250 mg/m2 or higher. Elderly cancer survivors are at higher risk of cardiotoxicity than non-elderly cancer survivors and may require closer follow-up.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline derivative used for treatment of malignancies; however, its clinical use is limited by its cardiotoxicity. We investigated the effects of angiotensin II type 2 receptor agonist compound 21 (C21) on DOX induced heart failure in rat heart. We compared C21 with losartan (LOS), an AT 1 receptor antagonist used for treating heart failure. We allocated 40 rats into five groups of eight: saline treated control group, DOX group administered a single 20 mg/kg dose of DOX, DOX + C21 group administered 0.3 mg/kg C21 for 21 days following the 20 mg/kg dose of DOX, DOX + losartan (LOS) group administered a 21 day regimen of 20 mg/kg LOS following the single dose of DOX, and a DOX + LOS + C21 group administered 0.3 mg/kg C21 and 20 mg/kg LOS for 21 days following the single dose of DOX. We assessed histopathology and conducted echocardiograpic and hemodynamic measurements. Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) was reduced only in the DOX treated group. C21, LOS and C21 + LOS therapy prevented decreased EF due to DOX. Less histopathology was observed in the DOX + LOS + C21 group than for the other treatment groups. Application of C21 decreased DOX induced cardiac injury similar to LOS. Combined use of C21 and LOS was most beneficial for DOX induced heart failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Echocardiograms are recommended every 3 months in patients receiving human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-targeted therapy for surveillance of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Efforts to tailor treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer have led to greater use of non-anthracycline regimens that are associated with lower cardiotoxicity risk, raising into question the need for frequent cardiotoxicity surveillance for these patients. This study seeks to evaluate whether less frequent cardiotoxicity surveillance (every 6 months) is safe for patients receiving a non-anthracycline HER2-targeted treatment regimen. METHODS/DESIGN We will enroll 190 women with histologically confirmed HER2-positive breast cancer scheduled to receive a non-anthracycline HER2-targeted treatment regimen for a minimum of 12 months. All participants will undergo echocardiograms before and 6-, 12-, and 18-months after initiation of HER2-targeted treatment. The primary composite outcome is symptomatic heart failure (New York Heart Association class III or IV) or death from cardiovascular causes. Secondary outcomes include: 1) echocardiographic indices of left ventricular systolic function; 2) incidence of cardiotoxicity, defined by a ≥ 10% absolute reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from baseline to < 53%; and 3) incidence of early interruption of HER2-targeted therapy. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this will be the first prospective study of a risk-based approach to cardiotoxicity surveillance. We expect findings from this study will inform the development of updated clinical practice guidelines to improve cardiotoxicity surveillance practices during HER2-positive breast cancer treatment. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was registered in the ClinicalTrials.gov registry (identifier NCT03983382) on June 12, 2019.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and cancer are frequently coexisting in elderly patients. Pooled metanalytic data on the impact of cancer on clinical outcomes in AF patients are lacking. We performed a systematic review and meta-regression analysis of clinical studies retrieved from Medline (PubMed) and Cochrane (CENTRAL) databases according to PRISMA guidelines. Bleeding endpoints included any, major, gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding and intracranial haemorrhage (ICH). Cardiovascular (CV) endpoints included myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke/systemic embolism (IS/SE), CV and all-cause death. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42022315678. We included 15 studies with 2,868,010 AF patients, of whom 479,571 (16.7%) had cancer. The pooled hazard ratio (HR) for cancer was 1.43 (95% confidence interval [95%CI] 1.42-1.44) for any bleeding, 1.27 (95% CI 1.26-1.29) for major bleeding, 1.17 (95% CI 1.14-1.19) for GI bleeding, and 1.07 (95% CI 1.04-1.11) for ICH. The risk of major bleeding increased with the proportion of breast cancer. Cancer increased the risk of all-cause death (HR 2.00, 95% CI 1.99-2.02) whereas no association with MI and CV death was found. Patients with AF and cancer were less likely to suffer from IS/SE (HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.89-0.94). Cancer complicates the clinical history of AF patients, mainly increasing the risk of bleeding. Further analyses according to the type and stage of cancer are necessary to better stratify bleeding risk in these patients.

Abstract
Background Hypertension and vascular toxicity are major unwanted side effects of antiangiogenic drugs, such as vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors (VEGFis), which are effective anticancer drugs but have unwanted side effects, including vascular toxicity and hypertension. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, used to treat ovarian and other cancers, have also been associated with elevated blood pressure. However, when patients with cancer receive both olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, and VEGFi, the risk of blood pressure elevation is reduced. Underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear, but PARP-regulated transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily M, member 2 (TRPM2), a redox-sensitive calcium channel, may be important. We investigated whether PARP/TRPM2 plays a role in VEGFi-induced vascular dysfunction and whether PARP inhibition ameliorates the vasculopathy associated with VEGF inhibition. Methods and Results Human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), human aortic endothelial cells, and wild-type mouse mesenteric arteries were studied. Cells/arteries were exposed to axitinib (VEGFi) alone and in combination with olaparib. Reactive oxygen species production, Ca2+ influx, protein/gene analysis, PARP activity, and TRPM2 signaling were assessed in VSMCs, and nitric oxide levels were determined in endothelial cells. Vascular function was assessed by myography. Axitinib increased PARP activity in VSMCs in a reactive oxygen species-dependent manner. Endothelial dysfunction and hypercontractile responses were ameliorated by olaparib and a TRPM2 blocker (8-Br-cADPR). VSMC reactive oxygen species production, Ca2+ influx, and phosphorylation of myosin light chain 20 and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (Thr495) were augmented by axitinib and attenuated by olaparib and TRPM2 inhibition. Proinflammatory markers were upregulated in axitinib-stimulated VSMCs, which was reduced by reactive oxygen species scavengers and PARP-TRPM2 inhibition. Human aortic endothelial cells exposed to combined olaparib and axitinib showed nitric oxide levels similar to VEGF-stimulated cells. Conclusions Axitinib-mediated vascular dysfunction involves PARP and TRPM2, which, when inhibited, ameliorate the injurious effects of VEGFi. Our findings define a potential mechanism whereby PARP inhibitor may attenuate vascular toxicity in VEGFi-treated patients with cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Balancing the cardiovascular risk and benefit of anthracycline-based chemotherapy in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is an important clinical issue. We aimed to evaluate whether the pretreatment coronary artery calcium score (CACS) can stratify the risk of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma receiving anthracycline-based chemotherapy. METHODS The patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma from 4 hospitals were retrospectively enrolled. The CACS was automatically calculated on nongated chest computed tomography before treatment using artificial intelligence-CACS software and divided into 3 categories (0, 1-100, and >100). The associations between the CACS and CTRCD and between the CACS and MACEs were assessed by logistic regression and Fine-Gray competing-risk regression model. Nelson-Aalen cumulative risk curve was performed to assess the cumulative incidence of MACEs. RESULTS A total of 1468 patients (785 men and 683 women; 100% Asian) were enrolled, and 362 and 185 patients developed CTRCD and MACEs, respectively. Compared with a CACS of 0 (n=826), there was stepwise higher odds of CTRCD with a CACS between 1 and 100 (n=356; odds ratio, 2.587) and a CACS >100 (n=286; odds ratio, 5.239). The CACS was associated with MACEs (1-100 versus 0: subdistribution hazard ratio 3.726; >100 versus 0: subdistribution hazard ratio 7.858; all P<0.001). Competing risk-adjusted MACEs rates for patients with a CACS of 0, 1 to 100, and >100 were 1.21%, 8.43%, and 11.19%, respectively, at 3 years, and 3.27%, 16.01%, 31.12%, respectively, at 5 years. CONCLUSIONS The automatic CACS derived from chest computed tomography before treatment was helpful to identify high-risk patients of CTRCD and MACE and guide clinicians to implement cardiovascular protection strategies in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who received anthracycline-based chemotherapy.

Abstract
The cardiotoxicity of trastuzumab (TRZ) seriously affects the prognosis of breast cancer patients, but the underlying mechanisms remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the potential molecular mechanisms of TRZ-induced cardiotoxicity based on RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and bioinformatics analysis. Kunming mice were exposed to 10 mg/kg TRZ for 6 and 10 days, followed by echocardiography, histopathology and serum biochemical analysis to evaluate the cardiotoxicity model. The results showed no significant changes after 6 days administration of TRZ. After 10 days administration of TRZ, the mice showed cardiac dysfunction, myocardial injury and fibrosis, and the serum levels of LDH, CK, CK-MB and cTnI were increased compared to the control [CON (Day 10)] group, indicating the cardiotoxicity model was successfully established. We compared gene expression levels in mice cardiac tissues by RNA-Seq and screened out 593 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Results based on Gene Ontology (GO) analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis and RT-PCR revealed that the CD74/STAT1 signaling pathway might play an important role in TRZ-induced cardiotoxicity. In the TRZ group, the protein expressions of CD74, p-STAT1 (Tyr) and p-STAT1 (Ser) were increased. The TUNEL staining showed increased apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. In addition, an increased expressions of Bax, Caspase-3, IFN-γ and TNF-α and a decreased expression of Bcl-2 were observed in Western blot results, indicating the apoptosis and inflammation levels were increased. These findings suggested that TRZ may induce cardiotoxicity in mice by activating the CD74/STAT1 signaling pathway, which might be related to the induction of apoptosis and inflammation.

Abstract
As the prognosis of cancer patients has been improved, comorbidity of heart failure (HF) in cancer survivors is a serious concern, especially in the aged population. This study aimed to examine the risk factors of HF development after treatment by anticancer agents, using a machine learning-based analysis of a massive dataset obtained from the electronic health record (EHR) in Japan. This retrospective, cohort study, using a dataset from 2008 to 2017 in the Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) database in Japan, enrolled 140,327 patients. The structure of risk factors was determined using multivariable analysis and classification and regression tree (CART) algorithm for time-to-event data. The mean follow-up period was 1.55 years. The prevalence of HF after anticancer agent administration were 4.0%. HF was more prevalent in the older than the younger. As the presence of cardiovascular diseases and various risk factors predicted HF, CART analysis of the risk factors revealed that the risk factor structures complicatedly differed among different age groups. The highest risk combination was hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and atrial fibrillation in the group aged ≤ 64 years, and the presence of ischemic heart disease was a key in both groups aged 65-74 years and 75 ≤ years. The machine learning-based approach was able to develop complicated HF risk structures in cancer patients after anticancer agents in different age population, of which knowledge would be essential for realizing precision medicine to improve the prognosis of cancer patients.

Abstract
Background The incidence of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI)-related adverse cardiovascular events (ACEs) may be underestimated, and there are few reports on the incidence and risk factors of ICI-induced left ventricular dysfunction (LVD). Objectives This study aimed to investigate the incidence of ACEs caused by ICI, in particular to analyze the incidence and risk factors of LV systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Materials and methods A prospective clinical study was performed on patients who received ICI in our hospital from November 2020 to October 2021. They received regular cardiovascular examinations, including echocardiography, ECG, cTnT, and NT-proBNP, etc. The incidence of various ACEs was counted, and the risk factors of LVD were analyzed. Results A total of 106 cancer patients treated with ICI were recruited. During the follow-up, 41 patients (38.68%) developed various ECG abnormalities, 39 patients (36.79%) developed LVDD, 9 patients (8.49%) developed CTRCD, and 2 patients (1.89%) developed new pericardial effusion. The patients with elevated cTnT, CK-MB, and NT-proBNP were 10 (9.43%), 8 (7.55%), and 8 (7.5%), respectively. Thirteen of the 52 patients with LVD had hypertension, while 4 of the 54 patients without LVD had hypertension (OR = 4.17, 95% CI: 1.26-13.78; P = 0.019). The baseline LVEF and LVFS of patients with LVD were 61.54 ± 4.15% and 33.78 ± 2.73%, while those of the control group were 64.16 ± 3.68% and 34.95 ± 2.84, respectively (P = 0.003 and P = 0.048). Compared with patients without LVD, patients with LVD had lower e' (6.99 ± 1.33 cm/s vs. 7.64 ± 1.39 cm/s, P = 0.029) and higher E to e' ratio (11.89 ± 3.15 cm/s vs. 10.43 ± 2.52, P = 0.024). Multiple regression analysis showed that a history of hypertension (HR = 26.52, 95% CI: 2.479-283.667, P = 0.007) and lower baseline e' (HR = 0.04, 95% CI: 0.003-0.709, P = 0.028) were risk factors for developing LVD. Conclusion Patients treated with ICI may develop multiple ACEs, including acute myocarditis, pericarditis, ECG abnormalities, and elevated cardiac biomarkers. ICI may lead to a high incidence of LVD, and echocardiography is helpful for early detection of LVD. Patients with hypertension or poor LV systolic or diastolic function at baseline were predictors of LVD after ICI treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) is a common side effect of doxorubicin chemotherapy, and a major mechanism of DIC is inflammation. However, no effective method exists to prevent DIC. In the present study, we investigated the cardioprotective effects of nicorandil against DIC using multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and elucidated the anti-inflammatory properties of nicorandil in rat models. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats received four weekly intraperitoneal doxorubicin doses (4 mg/kg/injection) to establish the DIC model. After treatment with or without nicorandil (3 mg/kg/day) or diazoxide (10 mg/kg/day) orally, all the groups underwent weekly CMR examinations, including cardiac function and strain assessment and T2 mapping, for 6 weeks. Additionally, blood samples and hearts were collected to examine inflammation and histopathology. RESULTS According to our results, the earliest DIC CMR parameter in the doxorubicin group was T2 mapping time prolongation compared with the DIC rats treated with nicorandil (doxorubicin+nicorandil group) at week 2. Subsequently, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and global peak systolic myocardial strain in the doxorubicin group were significantly reduced, and nicorandil effectively inhibited these effects at week 6. Our results were confirmed by histopathological evaluations. Furthermore, nicorandil treatment had a protective effect against the doxorubicin-induced inflammatory response. Interestingly, similar protective results were obtained using the KATP channel opener diazoxide. CONCLUSION Collectively, our findings indicate that nicorandil application ameliorates DIC in rats with significantly higher cardiac function and myocardial strain and less fibrosis, apoptosis and inflammatory cytokine production. Nicorandil prevents T2 abnormalities in the early stages of DIC, showing a high clinical value for early nicorandil treatment in chemotherapy patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cancer therapeutics–related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) from different chemotherapy strategies are underdetermined by echocardiography. As an imaging marker of subclinical cardiac dysfunction, two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) may assist in identifying the impact patterns of different CTRCD.
Methods
A total of 67 consecutive patients with invasive ductal breast carcinoma who will undertake neoadjuvant chemotherapy were enrolled and grouped according to their different chemotherapy regimens based on their biopsy results. Group A included 34 patients who received anthracycline without trastuzumab, whereas Group B had 33 patients who received trastuzumab without anthracycline. Echocardiography was performed at three time-points, i.e., baseline (T0), cycle-2 (T2), and cycle-4 (T4) of chemotherapy. Conventional echocardiographic measurements and 2D-STE strain values, and myocardial work (MW) parameters, were compared between different groups at different time-points.
Results
The mean age had no statistical difference between the two groups. E/e′ was the only conventional echocardiographic parameter that had variation in group A (P < 0.05). Compared with baseline, GLS in group A decreased at T2, and GCS decreased at T4 (P < 0.05). GLS and GCS in group B both decreased at T4 (P < 0.05). More patients in group A had a more than 15% fall of baseline GLS rather than GCS at T2 (P < 0.05), however, there was no difference of either GLS or GCS decline rate at T4 between the two groups. All the MW parameters in group A had variations overtime, whereas only GCW in group B (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
Early subclinical myocardial dysfunction can be identified by 2D-STE in breast cancer patients with chemotherapy, and GLS provides profound value in demonstrating the temporal changes in early myocardial damage induced by anthracycline. LV contractility injury in patients with trastuzumab may be mild at first but increases in severity with exposure time as early as cycle-4. Awareness of these differences may help to stratify the prevention of late cardiovascular events caused by different CTRCDs. In addition, GCW may be the most sensitive myocardial work parameter of CTRCD.

Abstract
Background Breast cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, and despite remarkable progress in its treatment, the survivors' quality of life is hampered by treatment-related side effects that impair psychosocial and physiological outcomes. Several studies have established the benefits of physical exercise in breast cancer survivors in recent years. Physical exercise reduces the impact of treatment-related adverse events to promote a better quality of life and functional outcomes. Aim This study aims to provide an overview of systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the effect of physical exercise on the health-related quality of life, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, and body composition of breast cancer survivors. Methods PubMed and Cochrane databases were searched for systematic reviews and meta-analyses from January 2010 to October 2022. The main focus was ascertaining the effectiveness of physical exercise in breast cancer survivors undergoing curative treatment (surgery and/or radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy). Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and assessed the risk of bias in the included studies. Results A total of 101 studies were identified, and 12 were yielded for final analysis. The eligible studies included nine systematic reviews/meta-analyses, one meta-analysis/meta-regression, and two systematic reviews. The number of randomised clinical trials included in each review varied from 11 to 63, and the number of participants was from 214 to 5761. A positive and significant effect of different physical exercise interventions on health-related quality of life was reported in 83.3% (10 studies) of the eligible studies. Physical exercise also improved cardiorespiratory fitness (3 studies; 25%) and showed to be effective in reducing body weight (3 studies; 25%) and waist circumference (4 studies; 33.3%). Conclusions Our results suggest that physical exercise is an effective strategy that positively affects breast cancer survivors' quality of life, cardiorespiratory fitness, and body composition. Healthcare professionals should foster the adoption of physical exercise interventions to achieve better health outcomes following breast cancer treatments.

Abstract
Oncotherapeutics research is progressing at a rapid pace, however, not many drugs complete the successful clinical trial because of severe off-target toxicity to cardiomyocytes which ultimately leads to cardiac dysfunction. It is thus important to emphasize the need for early testing for possible cardiotoxicity of emerging oncotherapeutics. In this study, we assessed a novel stem cell-derived cardiac model for testing for cardiotoxicity of novel oncotherapeutics. We evaluated the cardiotoxic effect of synthesized derivatives of oncotherapeutics, quercetin (QMJ-2, -5, and -6) and cinnamic acid (NMJ-1, -2, and -3) using human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells-derived cardiomyocytes (WJCM) against known cardiotoxic oncologic drugs, doxorubicin, 5-fluorouracil, cisplatin. QMJ-6, NMJ-2, and NMJ-3 were not cardiotoxic and had minimum cardiac side effects. They did not show any effect on cardiomyocyte viability, caused low LDH release, and intracellular ROS production kept the calcium flux minimal and protected the active mitochondrial status in cardiomyocytes. They persevered cardiac-specific gene expression as well. However, compounds QMJ-2, QMJ-5, and NMJ-1 were cardiotoxic and the concentration needs to be reduced to prevent toxic effects on cardiomyocytes. Significantly, we were able to demonstrate that WJCM is an efficient cardiac testing model to analyze the cardiotoxicity of drugs in a human context.

Abstract
Galectin-3 and myeloperoxidase (MPO) are novel biomarkers in the field of cardio-oncology, but conflicting results have been reported. Hence, a meta-analysis was performed to assess the monitoring value of galectin-3 and MPO in cancer-therapy-related cardiotoxicity. PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI databases and ClinicalTrials.gov were queried. According to the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, eight studies with 1979 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The examination of the study's heterogeneity (I2), quality assessment and statistical analysis were performed by two reviewers. No significant differences in galectin-3 levels were noted before and after treatment (WMD = -0.10, 90% CI -6.06-5.85, I2: 99%), and a weaker relationship was observed between galectin-3 evaluations and cancer-therapy-related cardiotoxicity (HR = 1.39, 90% CI 0.97-1.98, I2: 0%). However, MPO levels were increased in patients post-treatment (SMD = 0.58, 90% CI 0.35-0.80, I2: 56%), and an increased risk of cardiotoxicity was associated with early pre-post MPO assessments (HR = 1.16, 90% CI 1.02-1.32, I2: 21%). Surprisingly, the MPO levels were a more effective indicator of the response to tumor treatment compared with the TnI (SMD = 2.46, 90% CI -0.26-5.19, I2: 96%) and NT-proBNP levels (SMD = 1.08, 90% CI -0.82-2.98, I2: 96%). In conclusion, our meta-analysis suggests that MPO may rep-resent a potential biomarker for the early detection of cardiotoxicity in current cardio-oncology practice, but the monitoring value of galectin-3 requires further study.

Abstract
The long-term survival rate of cancer patients has been increasing as a result of advances in treatments and precise medical management. The evidence has accumulated that the incidence and mortality of non-cancer diseases have increased along with the increase in survival time and long-term survival rate of cancer patients after radiotherapy. The risk of cardiovascular disease as a radiation late effect of tissue damage reactions is becoming a critical challenge and attracts great concern. Epidemiological research and clinical trials have clearly shown the close association between the development of cardiovascular disease in long-term cancer survivors and radiation exposure. Experimental biological data also strongly supports the above statement. Cardiovascular diseases can occur decades post-irradiation, and from initiation and development to illness, there is a complicated process, including direct and indirect damage of endothelial cells by radiation, acute vasculitis with neutrophil invasion, endothelial dysfunction, altered permeability, tissue reactions, capillary-like network loss, and activation of coagulator mechanisms, fibrosis, and atherosclerosis. We summarize the most recent literature on the tissue reactions and mechanisms that contribute to the development of radiation-induced cardiovascular diseases (RICVD) and provide biological knowledge for building preventative strategies.
