Acute coronary syndrome developed after vincristine administration

Abstract

ÖZET Vinkristin ve doksorubisin kombinasyonu kemoterapi protoko- SUMMARYVincristine and doxorubicin are among the most effective chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of malignancies in combination per protocols. However, these chemotherapeutic agents possess great risk for development of cardiotoxicity. The most common manifestations of cardiotoxicity due to use of those chemotherapeutic agents are arrhythmias, systolic dysfunction, cardiomyopathy, pericardial injury and myocardial ischemia. We present a case of acute coronary syndrome with complete atrio-ventricular (AV) block, developed after vincristine and doxorubicin chemotherapy in a patient with multiple myeloma and no cardiac history.
