| Abstract | Recent advances in the early detection and treatment of cancer have led to increasing numbers of cancer survivors worldwide. Nonetheless, despite major improvements in the outcome of these patients, long-term side effects of radio- and chemotherapy affect both patient survival and quality of life, independent of the oncological prognosis. Chemotherapy-related cardiac dysfunction is one of the most notorious short-term side effects of anticancer treatment, occurring in ~10% of patients. Progression to overt heart failure carries a strikingly poor prognosis with a 2-year mortality rate of 60%. Early detection of left ventricular damage by periodic monitoring and prompt initiation of heart failure treatment is key in improving cardiovascular prognosis. To meet the growing demand for a specialised interdisciplinary approach for the prevention and management of cardiovascular complications induced by cancer treatment, a new discipline termed cardio-oncology has evolved. However, an uniform, multidisciplinary approach is currently lacking in the Netherlands. This overview provides an introduction and comprehensive summary of this emerging discipline and offers a practical strategy for the outpatient management of this specific patient population.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s12471-018-1148-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users. |
