Abstract
Cardiomyopathy is an adverse outcome of antineoplastic drug therapy that has become increasingly relevant in the
management of cancer survivors.As the efficacy of anticancer treatments has improved,long-term outcomes are altered
by the development of cardiotoxicity, which may be associated with an even worse prognosis than that of the underlying
malignancy.From the research into mechanisms,prevention,and treatment,the specialized field of cardio-oncology has
evolved, but the recognition and appropriate management of these patients is important for the general internist and
general cardiologist as well.
