Radiation associated coronary occlusion: Overlooked as trastuzumab-induced cardiomyopathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Trastuzumab is an agent used for receptor-positive breast cancer. Up to a third of patients treated with trastuzumab might develop cardiomyopathy. Many patients with breast cancer have taken preor co-administration of mediastinal radiotherapy. Both of treatment modalities have toxic effects on myocardium. It may result with diagnostic confusion between radiation-induced CAD (riCAD) and trastuzumab cardiomyopathy in the case with dilated cardiomyopathy. TTE may offer clues of differential diagnosis.

Bortezomib-induced Severe Congestive Heart Failure
The clinical manifestations of anti-cancer drug associated cardiac side effects are diverse and can range from acutely induced cardiac arrhythmias to severe contractile dysfunction, and potentially fatal heart failure. Anthracyclines and trastuzumab cardiac toxicity have been well described and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) evaluation is commonly performed before their use. Bortezom...
متن کاملA Case of Trastuzumab-Associated Cardiomyopathy Presenting as an Acute Coronary Syndrome: Acute Trastuzumab Cardiotoxicity
Trastuzumab is a monoclonal antibody highly effective in the treatment of several cancers, but its use is associated with cardiac toxicity which usually responds to cessation of the drug and/or medical therapy. We present an unusual case of acute cardiac toxicity temporally related to administration of trastuzumab in which the clinical presentation suggested an acute coronary syndrome. Coronary...

متن کاملLeft ventricular mural thrombus and dual coronary embolization associated with hyperthyroid cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation: a case report
BACKGROUND The majority of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) events are caused by thrombotic occlusion of the coronary artery, secondary to atherosclerotic plaque erosion or rupture. However, coronary embolism (CE), while rare, is being increasingly recognized as an important cause of AMI. We present the case of a patient with multi-site coronary artery embolization associated with hyperthyroid...
متن کاملLate onset radiation-induced constrictive pericarditis and cardiomyopathy after radiotherapy
INTRODUCTION Radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD) is a serious side effect of cancer treatment, including coronary artery disease, valvular cardiac dysfunction, cardiomyopathy, aortopathy, and chronic constrictive pericarditis. Herein, this case we present was diagnosed as radiation-induced constrictive pericarditis and cardiomyopathy by means of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and transthor...
