Track: Cardio Oncology

International cardiovascular conference 2027

As cancer survival rates improve, cardiovascular toxicity from cancer therapies has emerged as a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors. The Cardiac Oncology session examines the mechanisms and surveillance strategies for anthracycline cardiomyopathy, immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated myocarditis, HER2-targeted therapy cardiotoxicity, radiation-induced coronary artery disease and constrictive pericarditis, and androgen deprivation therapy cardiovascular effects. The session will present the 2022 ESC Cardio-Oncology Guidelines framework, baseline and on-treatment cardiac surveillance protocols, cardioprotective therapy with ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and SGLT2 inhibitors, and the organisational models for integrated cardio-oncology service delivery.


Key Discussion Areas:


  • Anthracycline cardiomyopathy: mechanisms, surveillance, and cardioprotective strategies
  • Immune checkpoint inhibitor myocarditis: diagnosis, grading, and management
  • HER2-targeted therapy cardiotoxicity: trastuzumab and pertuzumab cardiac monitoring
  • Radiation-induced heart disease: coronary disease, pericarditis, and valvulopathy
  • Androgen deprivation therapy and cardiovascular risk in prostate cancer
  • Baseline and on-treatment cardiac surveillance: echocardiography, GLS, and biomarkers
  • Cardioprotective pharmacotherapy: ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and SGLT2 inhibitors
  • Cardio-oncology service models: integrated multidisciplinary care pathways


Why Attend This Session?


Cardiologists, oncologists, haematologists, radiation oncologists, and cardiac imaging specialists will gain practical frameworks for baseline risk assessment, on-treatment cardiac monitoring, cardiotoxicity management, and the integration of cardio-oncology services into comprehensive cancer care programmes.
