August 2021 MANAGING TREATMENT RELATED CARDIOVASCULAR SIDE EFFECTSFeaturing: Nausheen Akhter, MD
Episode SummaryNausheen Akhter, MD discusses managing treatment related cardiovascular side effects. She examines why has this sub specialty grown in importance with the ever increasing cancer survivorship and development of novel cancer therapies that have acute & long-term cardiovascular effects. She shares the structure of Northwestern Medicine’s cardio-oncology clinic, the need to shift referrals upstream for “pre-chemo cardiac evaluation” in high risk patients & how cardiac imaging used in cancer therapy surveillance.
