Article Synopsis
- Anti-cancer treatments can lead to serious heart issues, which are a leading cause of death in cancer survivors, highlighting the need for ongoing heart monitoring during and after treatment.
- A study involving 162 cancer patients showed that remote single-lead ECG monitoring effectively detected early signs of cardiotoxicity, with significant occurrences of QTc prolongation and new atrial fibrillation after chemotherapy.
- Early identification of heart problems from cancer treatments can significantly improve patient safety, and using portable ECG devices is a practical and cost-effective way to monitor these risks.
