Delineation of anthracyclines and herceptin induced cardiotoxicity using contrast enhanced CMR
Background Anthracyclines and Herceptin are well known amongst chemotherapeutic agents to cause cardiotoxicity. Anthracyclines, particularly in combination with, Herceptin are seen in studies to cause cumulative, dose-related, progressive myocardial damage with decrease in left ventricular(LV) ejection fraction (EF) ultimately leading to clinical heart failure, which can be irreversible. There ...
متن کاملAnthracyclines: cardiotoxicity and its prevention.
The anthracycline antibiotics have now been in use in curative chemotherapy protocols for over two decades. They are highly active against a wide range of haemopoietic and solid tumours in children and adults. Unfortunately, their antineoplastic use is limited by significant and irreversible cardiotoxicity, the full extent of which continues to emerge. As more children become long term survivor...
متن کاملCardiotoxicity of trastuzumab (herceptin) in chick embryos.
The cardiac toxicity of trastuzumab was studied in chick embryos. Fertilized eggs of White Leghorns were incubated and investigated. Trastuzumab 5 mg/egg (low dose) or 15 mg/egg (high dose) was injected into the air sac of a fertilized egg on the 16th day of incubation. Electrocardiograms (ECGs) were recorded 0 to 60 min after the injection. After low dosing of trastuzumab, the heart rate was n...
متن کاملMitochondria Death/Survival Signaling Pathways in Cardiotoxicity Induced by Anthracyclines and Anticancer-Targeted Therapies
Anthracyclines remain the cornerstone of treatment in many malignancies but these agents have a cumulative dose relationship with cardiotoxicity. Development of cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure induced by anthracyclines are typically dose-dependent, irreversible, and cumulative. Although past studies of cardiotoxicity have focused on anthracyclines, more recently interest has turned ...
متن کاملTheoretical ground for adsorptive therapy of anthracyclines cardiotoxicity.
Anthracyclines play an important role in treatment of variety types of cancer due to their high effectiveness and broad spectrum of activity. However, a major limitation of their use is the dose-limiting cardiotoxicity. The inability to predict and prevent anthracycline cardiotoxicity is in part due to the fact that the molecular and cellular mechanisms remain controversial and incompletely und...
