Filter by:Breast cancer is a chronic disease that has seen a boom in research into its treatments, improvements and effects in recent decades. These advances have also highlighted the need to use physical exercise as a countermeasure to reduce the cardiotoxicity of pharmacological treatments. Patients need a correct daily individualisation of the exercise dose necessary to produce the physiological, physical and psychological benefits. To this end, the present study will use, in a novel way in this population, heart rate variability (HRV) as a measure of training prescription. The primary objective of this randomised clinical trial is to analyse the effects of a physical exercise programme planned according to daily HRV in breast cancer patients after chemotherapy treatment. For this purpose, a 16-week intervention will be carried out with 90 breast cancer patients distributed in 3 groups (control group, conventional preprogrammed physical exercise training group and physical exercise group with HRV daily programming). Cardiorespiratory capacity, strength, flexibility, agility, balance, body composition, quality of life, fatigue, functionality, self-esteem, anxiety and depression of patients before and after the intervention will be evaluated in order to compare the effects of exercise and its programming.
This is a randomized controlled trial. 80 patients with thoracic radiotherapy will be included. Participants will be randomly divided into experimental group or control group. Before radiotherapy, echocardiography, 2D STE, CK, CK-MB, cTnT, NT-proBNP, electrocardiogram (ECG), and hs-CRP will be detected. During subsequent follow-up, echocardiography, 2D STE, CK, CK-MB, cTnT, NT-proBNP, ECG, and hs-CRP will be collected at every follow-up time.
Thoracic malignancy is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide.1,2 The incidence of thoracic malignancy has decreased in North America, but not in Asia, where it continues to show an increasing trend. A notable manifestation of the bimodal age distribution of thoracic malignancy has been observed in women. The occurrence of early-onset thoracic malignancy in the Asian population is earlier than that in the Western population, resulting in a higher incidence of thoracic malignancy in young Asian women. Moreover, the late onset age distribution of patients with thoracic malignancy in Asia (40-50 years) is earlier than that in Western countries (60-70 years), peaking at the age of 45-50 years in most women. The age-specific incidence rates of thoracic malignancy increase sharply until the menopausal stage. Cardiovascular morbidity is higher among women with thoracic malignancy involving the thorax who had received radiotherapy (RT) compared with those not involving the thorax but receiving the same treatment. Thus far, the risks and time to onset of cardiac complications have been unclear in both young and old women. The proportion of young women with thoracic malignancy is higher in Asia than in Western countries. Furthermore, whether Asian women with thoracic malignancy are susceptible to RT remains unclear. Anthracyclines are important therapeutic agents for breast cancer. Anthracycline-based regimens have similar or improved outcomes relative to the standard treatment regimen of cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil. However, cardiotoxicity is a long-term toxicity associated with these regimens. The combined use of adjuvant anthracycline-based chemotherapy (CT) and RT may result in high cardiotoxicity. Nonetheless, no clear information on the effects of this combined therapy on the time to onset of both cardiac complications and cardiotoxicity is available. Furthermore, whether the cardiotoxicity of adjuvant RT and anthracycline-based CT is associated with age and ethnicity in women with thoracic malignancy remains unclear. Therefore, cardiovascular disease is undoubtedly one of the most challenging health problems in the world. More efforts are needed to prevent and better control of this disease. Our proposed monitoring program is to use AI to monitor the basal value variation of personalized cardiovascular disease in cancer patients before and after chemoradiation. In the first year, our team focused on cardiotoxicity associated with cardiovascular disease models and cancer treatments. In the second year, we will apply knowledge in a clinical setting and calculate the severity of cardiac toxicity and its incidence and time response after cancer treatment. In the third year, high-risk groups will be identified to provide preventive intervention to reduce the risk of cancer-treatment related cardiotoxicity.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the potential adjuvant therapeutic effect of trimetazidine in treatment of acute AlP poisoning-induced cardiotoxicity.
This study regarding oncological patients for rehabilitation after specific cancer therapy involves three aims: (1) to evaluate the predictive value of myocardial work parameters on the improvement of exercise performance after rehabilitation, (2) to determine which echocardiographic parameters are more suitable in predicting cardiac dysfunction, and (3) to evaluate the correlation between echocardiographic parameters and fibrosis detected by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).
Early microRNAs (miRs) and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR)-derived strain analysis and detection of genes contributing to Anthracycline-Induced Cardiotoxicity (AIC) sensitivity and resistance will identify pediatric cancer patients most and least likely to develop AIC.
