Summary

Novel therapeutic approaches have led to an improvement in the survival of patients with haematologic malignancies, however, this success often leads to unexpected acute, chronic and late adverse cardiovascular events. In the last decade, anti-cancer therapy-induced cardiotoxicity is associated mainly with targeted therapy, immunomodulatory agents, proteasome inhibitors and more recently also with immunotherapy. These treatment methods may be associated with left ventricular dysfunction, heart failure, coronary artery disease, including acute coronary syndrome, arterial hypertension, thromboembolic complications, peripheral artery disease, pulmonary hypertension, valvular defects as well as arrhythmias, occurring simultaneously with the treatment and rarely also after its termination. This mini-review presents a brief overview of cardiovascular issues induced by haemato-oncological therapy and discusses the pathomechanisms of cardiotoxicity and new clinical data regarding novel therapeutics.

Keywords:
targeted therapy – immunomodulatory drugs – proteasome inhibitors – immunotherapy – radiotherapy – cardiovascular complications
