This review discusses the impact of arterial hypertension (AH) on oncologic patients and its role as a predisposing factor for cardiotoxicity related to anticancer treatment. The importance of controlling AH and managing AH-mediated organ damage (HMOD) in order to optimize the clinical course of oncologic patients is emphasized.
Purpose of the ReviewArterial hypertension (AH) is the most common cardiovascular (CV) risk factor in the community and in oncologic patients. It also represents the most important CV condition predisposing to anticancer treatment-related cardiotoxicity. This risk is heightened in the presence of cardiac AH-mediated organ damage (HMOD). Influence of AH and HMOD on the development of cardiotoxicity will be reviewed, with a focus on specific scenarios and implications for management of oncologic patients. Recent Findings Not adequately controlled AH before or during anticancer treatments and/or development of AH during or after completion of such therapies have detrimental effects on the clinical course of oncologic patients, particularly if HMOD is present. Summary As overlooking CV health can jeopardize the success of anticancer treatments, the goal for clinicians caring for the oncologic patient should include the treatment of AH and HMOD.
