Background: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an easy-to-use inflammatory biomarker. Baseline NLR is independently associated with incident cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. However, whether this applies to acute myocarditis (AM) has not been evaluated.

This study aims to evaluate the influence of gender differences on the incidence of cardiovascular toxicity in patients with CML.
Methods: The study population consisted of 148 patients (45% women, mean age: 58 ± 14.
The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a new alternative insulin resistance (IR) biomarker. The purpose of this study was to assess whether the TyG index can have a prognostic value in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Moreover, we wanted to compare the TyG index with HOMA index.

Article Synopsis
- Advances in cancer treatment have led to more cancer survivors, increasing the incidence of both adult and childhood cancer survivors.
- However, survivors treated with certain therapies, like anthracyclines and radiation, face a heightened risk of long-term cardiovascular issues, including heart failure and coronary artery diseases.
- It’s crucial to assess cardiovascular risk after cancer therapy and implement long-term monitoring and preventive strategies in alignment with current guidelines to manage potential late complications.
