Abstract EN
Chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy (CCMP) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality.
Compared to cardiomyopathy due to other causes, anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy is associated with a worse survival.
As cancer survival improves, patients with CCMP can be expected to comprise a significant proportion of patients who may require advanced therapies such as inotropic support, cardiac transplantation, or left ventricular assist device (LVAD).
Distinct outcomes related to advanced therapies for end-stage heart failure in this patient population may arise due to unique demographic characteristics and comorbidities.
We review recent literature regarding the characteristics of patients who have survived cancer undergoing orthotopic heart transplantation and mechanical circulatory support for end-stage heart failure.
The challenges and outcomes of advanced therapies for heart failure related specifically to anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy are emphasized.
