Myocardial dysfunction in patients with cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Cancer therapy-related cardiotoxicities are an important contributor to the development of cardiomyopathy in this patient population. Furthermore, cardiac AL amyloidosis, cardiac malignancies/metastases, accelerated atherosclerosis, stress cardiomyopathy, systemic and pulmonary hypertension are also linked to the development of myocardial dysfunction. Herein, we summarize current knowledge on the mechanisms of myocardial dysfunction in the setting of cancer and cancer-related therapies. Additionally, we briefly outline key recommendations on the surveillance and management of cancer therapy-related myocardial dysfunction based on the consensus of experts in the field of cardio-oncology.

The Relationship between Left Ventricular Diastolic Function Parameters and Coronary Artery Disease Severity.
Iran J Med Sci
December 2024
Cardiovascular Research Center, Kerman University of Medical Sciences, Kerman, Iran.
Background: The relationship between diastolic function parameters and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) is controversial. This study aimed to determine the relationship between left ventricular diastolic function and the severity of CAD.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 63 patients with Ischemic heart disease (IHD) or those suspected of having IHD, who underwent angiography.
Outcomes of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Patients With Impaired Left Ventricular Function and the Role of Preoperative Myocardial Viability.

Background Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) improves outcomes in patients with ischemic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, but accurate patient selection remains critical. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging aids in assessing myocardial viability, a key predictor of surgical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of myocardial viability on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing CABG.

Unlabelled: Myocarditis and pericarditis, or myopericarditis, is a rare, albeit life-threatening, cardiac complication of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Although most patients recover from myocardial inflammation within weeks of the acute infection, there are concerns about acute and long-term myocardial injury. Coronary microvascular dysfunction and myocardial inflammation in the affected myocardium might be key factors in developing acute COVID-19-associated myopericarditis.

Background: The pattern of myocardial injury and dysfunction development during follow-up is unclear in patients with myocarditis. This study aims to explore the developmental pattern of myocardial injury and cardiac dysfunction during the follow-up of myocarditis by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and differences in short-term follow-up CMR performance between patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated myocarditis (CAM) and non-COVID-19-associated myocarditis (NCAM).
Methods: Data of patients with clinically diagnosed myocarditis who underwent follow-up CMR were retrospectively collected.
