Background
Cardiotoxicity is the consequence of chemotherapy and external beam radiation therapy, but the complications associated with the toxic effects are enlarged and expanding instead of advancing oncological treatments in a developing field. The evaluation of cardiac ventricular volumes and function as received in cardiac MRI makes it suitable to assess cardiotoxicity.
Objectives
The research identifies, selects, and reviews the previous research involving cardiovascular magnetic resonance to evaluate cardiovascular diseases in patients receiving or had received cancer treatment.
Findings
The results showed that cardiac MRI is well suited to the identification and diagnosis of cardiotoxicity produced in cancer treatment. Historically, previous research was not hopeful for the pivotal role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, but the recent research articles are optimistic due to MRI’s non-invasive method, since the field of MRI is evolving, and recent developments are taking place.
Conclusions
Research findings are aligned with the objectives of the selected study with the focus on assessing the role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to bring to the surface the cardiotoxicity produced in cancer patients due to cancer therapy. The conclusion reached is positive because MRI is a useful and non-invasive modality to address the risk of cardiac failure in cancer patients.
