New Patient Resource

Thanks to the work of members of the Cardio-Oncology section and the Eastern Cooperative Group-American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ECOG-ACRIN) Cardiotoxicity Working Group, a new Cardio-Oncology resource for patients has been published on CardioSmart.org. The first topic covered is Radiation and Heart Disease. Sections to follow include:

  • Chemotherapy and Heart Disease (5FU and capecitabine)
  • Cancer Patients and Exercise
  • Breast Cancer (HER2) and Heart Disease

Send your patients to CardioSmart.org/Cardio-Oncology for help understanding cardio-toxicity and tips to stay healthy.

For any additional topic suggestions or feedback regarding the resource, please feel free to contact Alicia McClarin (amcclarin.org) or Michelle Poblete (mpoblete@acc.org).
