Heart Transplantation in Patients with Chemotherapy-Induced Cardiotoxicity
Abstract
We report 3 cases of heart transplantation in adults due to chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity in a transplant center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. All patients received anthracyclines during cancer treatment. We reviewed and discussed the cases with data from the literature, addressing the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of heart failure in cancer survivors.
