The purpose of this paper is to review the mortality rate in patients with aortic stenosis, and the special subgroup of this pathology associated with left ventricular dysfunction and clinical data of heart failure. The left ventricular dysfunction is recognized by low aortic gradients, and differentiation must be made between reversible ventricular dysfunction, in which case the optimal treatment is surgery, and irreversible ventricular disfunction, since in these cases surgical treatment will have excessively high mortality rates and no benefit.

Breast cancer is a prevalent malignancy with rising incidence globally. Advances in endocrine therapy have improved outcomes for premenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. However, these treatments may induce menopause-like states, potentially elevating cardiovascular risks, including left ventricular (LV) dysfunction.

Cardiomyopathy represents the most important life-limiting condition of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients after the age of 20. Genetic alterations in the DMD gene result in the absence of functional dystrophin protein, leading to skeletal/cardiac muscle impairment. The DMD incidence is one in 5000 live male births.

: Anthracyclines remain a pivotal element of numerous tumor management regimens; however, their utilization is associated with a range of adverse effects, the most significant of which is cardiotoxicity. Research is constantly being conducted to identify substances that could be incorporated into ongoing cancer chemotherapy to mitigate anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. Recently, the apelinergic system has received a lot of attention in this field due to its involvement in cardiovascular regulation.

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer among women, with an incidence of 85-94 per 100,000 people annually in Europe. Despite the increasing incidence of BC, advancements in early detection and novel therapeutic approaches have improved survival rates. However, adjuvant treatments are associated with side effects, including a reduction in the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), which can result in severe cardiac damage and progress to heart failure.
