Anthracycline Cardiotoxicity
In this issue, Gupta et al describe a novel mechanism, mediated through alterations in the RNA-binding protein QKI (Quaking), responsible for anthracycline-mediated cardiotoxicity. Performing global transcriptional profiling in murine hearts exposed to doxorubicin, they identified 5 differentially expressed RNA-binding proteins: 4 of which were upregulated and 1 QKI which was downregulated. QKI...
متن کاملPathophysiology and preventive strategies of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity
Cardiotoxicity is a well-known complication following treatment with anthracyclines. However, they are still widely used in chemotherapy for breast cancer, lymphoma, leukemia, and sarcoma, among others. Patient clinical characteristics, such as age, sex, comorbidities, anthracycline dose and infusion schedule, and the combined anti-cancer agents used, are diverse among cancer types. It is diffi...
متن کاملAnthracycline Cardiotoxicity
Anthracyclines remain an integral part of chemotherapy regimens in many adult and pediatric cancers but cause myocardial damage that may manifest as either subclinical decrements of left ventricular ejection function or overt cardiomyopathy. Anthracycline-related cardiotoxicity is doselimiting, and the risks of congestive heart failure increase with higher cumulative doses, particularly above 5...

متن کاملCardiac magnetic resonance characteristics of acute anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity
Background Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is the gold standard for quantification of global and regional myocardial function and is able to detect subclinical myocardial dysfunction in the setting of a wide variety of myocardial disease processes, including anthracycline induced cardiomyopathy (AIC). Preliminary studies using T2-weighted sequences have demonstrated increase in signal ...
