Article Synopsis
- The mortality rate for cancer patients is declining, but many experience heart issues linked to cancer treatments, prompting increased interest in cardio-oncology.
- The European Society of Cardiology's recent guidelines address these concerns, highlighting the challenges breast cancer patients face with echocardiography due to physical limitations.
- A study comparing myocardial scintigraphy with echocardiography in 114 breast cancer patients found no significant correlation between the two diagnostic methods, indicating that scintigraphy may not effectively replace echocardiography in these cases.*
