Filter by:This clinical trial evaluates changes in cardiac (heart) function during stress echocardiography to screen for chemically induced cardiotoxicity in cancer patients at a high risk for developing heart failure. Some chemotherapeutic agents to treat certain types of cancers can induce cardiac dysfunction and heart failure. Currently there is no validated means of predicting which patients will go on to develop cardiac toxicity and heart failure following treatment with chemotherapeutic agents. Stress echocardiography is a test that uses ultrasound imaging to show how well the heart muscle is working to pump blood to the body during low intensity exercise. Stress echocardiography prior to and during cancer treatment may help doctors find cancer therapeutic related cardiac dysfunction sooner when it may be easier to treat.
Childhood cancer survivors are at an increased risk of cardiac toxicity due to prior anti-cancer therapy. However, adherence to cardiac screening in this population remains low. This study aims to assess the feasibility of an mHealth motivational interviewing platform called Computerized Authoring Intervention Software (CIAS) in childhood cancer survivors. Participants will be recruited from the Childhood Cancer Survivorship Study.
This research is a multi-center prospective cohort interventional study aimed to determinate the capabilities of remote 1-minute single-lead electrocardiogram monitoring for cardiotoxicity detection, during two- three weeks (depending on the scheme of polychemotherapy) after the first cycle of polychemotherapy in patients with the first diagnosed cancer.
This study aims to investigate the possible role of rosuvastatin in protection against cardiotoxicity in HER2 positive breast cancer patients receiving doxorubicin sequential with trastuzumab.
Anthracyclines are one of the most well-known and effective drugs used to treat malignancies.The most important limiting factor in the use of this drug is its cardiac toxicity which includes cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure. Bisoprlol is a β1-specific β-blocker that can reduce cardiac overload and also have anti-inflammatory antioxidant effects and can reduce reactive oxygen metabolites so it can be used as a cardioprotective agent in patients with a high risk of heart failure. To the best of our knowledge, no study has been performed to evaluate the prophylactic effect of bisoprolol solely in patients under chemotherapy with anthracyclines. This study is aimed to evaluate the cardioprotective role of bisoprolol in patients with non-metastatic breast cancer receiving doxorubicin, by measuring global longitudinal strain before and after treatment.
This will be a cohort study of all patients receiving Cluster of Differentiation 19 (CD19)-specific CAR T cell therapy for relapsed/refractory B cell haematological malignancies. Patients will receive cardiac assessment and have serum cardiac biomarkers, ECG, transthoracic echocardiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging performed at baseline prior to CAR T cell therapy, 7 days post CAR T cell infusion, and 3 months post CAR T cell infusion. Abnormalities in these cardiac investigations will be used to demonstrate cardiac injury and identify which patients are most at risk of developing cardiac injury related to CAR T cell therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the changes by two modalities: Imaging by Strain by Speckle Tracking and Magnetic Resonance versus soluble markers of cardiac dysfunction as early predictors of cardio-toxicity in cancer patients receiving low or high doses of radiotherapy.
Compelling epidemiological evidence indicates that alterations of relative telomere length (RTL) are associated with cardiac dysfunction caused by chemotherapy in children with acute leukemia (AL).The aim of this study was to explore association between RTL content in peripheral blood cells could be used as a risk predictor for severity of cardiac damage.
This is an observational study aiming to prospectively define the rate of occurrence, natural history and progression of cardiac dysfunction in adults, and to identify the patients at high risk of developing cardiovascular events. The study enrolls patients prior to infusion with CART cell therapy and follows them with serial echocardiography, cardiac biomarkers, clinical data, and quality of life questionnaire.
This project aims to determine whether a comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation program including supervised exercise training is able to prevent cardiotoxicity during treatment with anthracyclines and / or anti-HER-2 antibodies in women with breast cancer. Participants will be randomly allocated to cardiac rehabilitation (intervention group) or conventional management with physical exercise recommendation (control group).
