Overview• Cardiovascular disease is the number two killer
of cancer survivors• 108 million baby boomers will enter healthcare
industry by 2015• By 2015 over 15 Million U.S. cancer survivors
– Many definitions of a cancer survivor– Cardiologist viewpoint: survivorship starts at time of
diagnosis (Dr.Fitzhugh)
Overview
• Cancer treatment has shifted to targeted therapies, with more than 30 new agents in the past five years – Life-saving drugs and cardiology approach should
support use; not interrupt use– Limited randomized controlled trials on prevention of
cardiotoxicity – Treatment is based on prevention, early detection,
prevention of progression heart failure

New Hypothesis
Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity is mediated by Top2b
Two different Top2: a and b
Doxorubicin poisons both Top2a and Top2b.
Proliferating cells express Top2a.
However, the adult heart only expresses Top2b.

Cancer patients: risks for prolonged QTc .
ECG Percent Reference

Borderline or prolonged QTc
15% Vaterasian, et al. 2003
any ECG anomaly 36% Barbey et al 2003
• molecularly targeted agents with QTc• adjuvant regimens, long treatment periods• survival emphasis toxicity reduction
WHEN TO WORRY ABOUT QT?
• More than 25% prolongation of QTc interval from the baseline or a QTc interval longer than 500 ms increases the risk of precipitation of drug-induced torsade de pointes
• More than 90% of incidences of drug-induced torsade de pointes occur with QTc values of more than 500 ms
Bednar MM et al. Am. J. Cardiol 2002;89:1316–1319 Gowda RM et al. Int J Cardiol 2004;96:1-6
TREATMENT
• Discontinuation of the offending agent: Any offending agent should be withdrawn. Predisposing conditions such as hypokalemia, hypomagnesaemia, and bradycardia should be identified and corrected.
• (>90% of time, we just stop supportive cast of medications)
PROGNOSIS
• Because Long QT interval is primarily an electrical disorder, in the absence of structural heart disease and LV dysfunction, the long-term prognosis is good as long as the offending agents and risk factors are corrected and arrhythmia is controlled.
Things to Consider
• More than 500 known tyrosine kinases from Human Genome Project– Over 250 of these tyrosine kinases are cloned,
and expressed– 7 Tyrosine kinases are FDA approved– 4 Tyrosine kinases targeted (17 kinases in vivo)– How many kinases in the human genome are
cardiac specific?
Kinase-binding profiles of the ABL inhibitors imatinib (upper panel), dasatinib (middle panel), and bosutinib (bottom panel) across a set of protein kinases simultaneously identified from K562 cells. The bars indicate the IC50 values, defined as the concentration of drug at which half-maximal competition of kinobead binding is observed.

Conclusions• Cardiologists and oncologists must collaborate
• Exciting new cancer therapies are being discovered, however, in order to maximize their potential, cardiac toxicities need to be identified and addressed upfront
• Although recent clinical experience has shown significant cardiotoxicity post-trial with cancer therapies, we have also seen resolution of toxicity using evidence-based cardiology guidelines (beta blockers need further study)
• More collaborative work with biomarkers/cardiac imaging for early detection and treatment
