“…Cancer and CAD share numerous risk factors [13], including tobacco consumption, obesity, diabetes, lower socioeconomic status, and air pollution [4 ▪ ,14–17]. Accordingly, cancer patients carry a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors than cancer-free controls [7,8,11 ▪ ,18].…”

“…In a report of nearly 6.5 million patients presenting with ACS in the United States between 2004 and 2014, 2.8% of patients had an active malignancy, whereas 6.3% had a history of malignancy [87 ▪▪ ]. Other studies have reported a higher prevalence of MI in cancer survivors [4 ▪ ] and higher risk of MI in the 6 months after cancer diagnosis [88] when compared against cancer-free controls. The most common cancers among patients with MI are prostate, breast, colon, and lung cancer, mirroring their prevalence outside the MI setting [10 ▪▪ ,87 ▪▪ ,89 ▪▪ ].…”

“…The prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and cancer are increasing as the world's population ages, medical care improves, and both diseases are detected at earlier stages [1,2]. The prevalence of CAD appears to be even higher among patients with cancer compared to people without cancer, possibly due to the intersection of risk factors common to these two conditions and an increased risk of CAD resulting from cancer treatment [3,4 ▪ ,5,6 ▪▪ ,7,8]. Consequently, CAD is a frequent comorbidity in patients being treated for cancer and those who survive it [9,10 ▪▪ ,11 ▪ ,12].…”

Purpose of reviewCoronary artery disease (CAD) is a common comorbidity in patients with cancer. We review shared risk factors between the two diseases and cancer treatments that increase the risk of CAD. We also discuss outcomes and management considerations of patients with cancer who develop CAD.Recent findingsSeveral traditional and novel risk factors promote the development of both CAD and cancer. Several cancer treatments further increase the risk of CAD. The presence of cancer is associated with a higher burden of comorbidities and thrombocytopenia, which predisposes patients to higher bleeding risks. Patients with cancer who develop acute coronary syndromes are less likely to receive timely revascularization or appropriate medical therapy, despite evidence showing that receipt of these interventions is associated with substantial benefit. Accordingly, a cancer diagnosis is associated with worse outcomes in patients with CAD. The risk-benefit balance of revascularization is becoming more favorable due to the improving prognosis of many cancers and safer revascularization strategies, including shorter requirements for dual antiplatelet therapy after revascularization.SummarySeveral factors increase the complexity of managing CAD in patients with cancer. A multidisciplinary approach is recommended to guide treatment decisions in this high-risk and growing patient group.

Although shown to be effective in improving survival and quality of life in patients with cancer, some treatments are well-known causes of cardiotoxicity, such as anthracyclines, monoclonal antibodies against human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and radiotherapy. To prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients living with cancer, cardiologists and oncologists promoted the development of cardio-oncology, an interdisciplinary field which aims to further improving life expectancy in these patients. Cardio-oncology rehabilitation (CORE), through correction of risk factors, prescription of drug therapies and structured exercise programs, tries to improve symptoms, quality of life, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and survival in patients with cancer. Different imaging modalities can be used to evaluate the real effectiveness of exercise training on cardiac function. Among these, the global longitudinal strain (GLS) has recently aroused interest, thanks to its high sensitivity and specificity for cardiac dysfunction detection due to advanced ultrasound programs. This review summarizes the evidence on the usefulness of GLS in patients with cancer undergoing cardiac rehabilitation programs.
