Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction among Cancer Patients
摘要
To describe the incidence, prevention and treatment of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) among patients with cancer.
Recent FindingsMany cancer therapeutics can predispose to HFpEF, including anthracyclines, radiation, hematopoietic stem cell transplant, vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, BCR-Abl inhibitors, anti-androgen therapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors. HFpEF has been understudied in cancer patients in part because definitions of cancer therapy related cardiac dysfunction have required a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors are being studied for the prevention of cancer therapeutic related cardiac dysfunction and may be useful for the prevention of HFpEF in the setting of cancer treatment.
SummaryManagement of HFpEF among cancer survivors combines existing treatment paradigms for non-cancer patients with a nuanced understanding of the increased cardiovascular risk secondary to cancer and cancer therapy. Future research should clearly define HFpEF as an outcome.
