About us:

The goals of our program are to closely monitor various aspects of heart health in cancer patients at risk; providing state-of-the- art screening and diagnostic tests; and to begin treatment when appropriate, using the best therapies available, simultaneously allowing continuation and completion of cancer treatment which is vital for survival.

At the moment, our primary goals are:
  • To provide care for patients with a cardiovascular history (such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, etc) who now have to undergo cancer treatment (with agents such as anthracycline, herceptin, VEGF-inhibitors or radiation therapy).
  • To provide care for patients who present with any cardiovascular symptoms, heart failure or arrhythmias following traditional treatments associated with cardiac dysfunction including anthracyclines, herceptin, and newer agents such as VEGF-inhibitors.
  • Study the utility of advanced imaging techniques for detection of subclinical cancer-therapy related micro- and macrovascular disease.
