| Article Title: | Chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy in the elderly |
| Abstract: | The older population is preferentially afflicted by cancer and is vulnerable to chemotherapy-related side effects including cardiotoxicity. Unfortunately, this high-risk group is underrepresented in clinical trials and as such there is little guidance for risk assessment and management. In this review, we focus on the commonly used chemotherapeutic agents and their deleterious cardiovascular effects, particularly in the elderly. |
