Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardio-oncology is a rapidly expanding field, crucial for improving the long-term outcomes of cancer patients, given the increasing cancer survival rates and the concomitant incidence of treatment-induced cardiovascular toxicity. This Special Issue aims to provide an update on the latest discoveries, covering the entire spectrum of cardio-oncology. We anticipate receiving manuscripts that explore the pathophysiology, risk factors, and clinical manifestations underlying cardiotoxicity from chemotherapeutic agents and new targeted therapies. We also seek articles focused on the use of advanced imaging techniques (3D echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, PET/CT) for early diagnosis and risk stratification of cardiac dysfunction, as well as contributions concerning innovative therapeutic strategies, including new cardioprotective molecules and personalized approaches for managing cardiovascular complications in cancer patients. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive resource that stimulates further research and improves clinical practice in this vital field.
