Cardiology

ivo.es › Cardiology

The IVO’s cardiology service is responsible for the study, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in oncology patients.

The cardiological problems of cancer patients, usually the elderly ones, have several clearly defined characteristics that must be addressed through a permanent interrelationship between the cardiologist and those responsible for their oncological monitoring.

Activity of this Service

The cardiology department carries out its activities in permanent contact with the other departments responsible for monitoring the disease in each patient. In cancer patients, the cardiological issue encompasses multiple dimensions:

Cardiovascular Toxicity

Diagnosing and treating cardiovascular toxicity generated by cancer treatment using chemotherapy drugs.

Cardiovascular Pathology

Diagnosing and treating cardiovascular pathologies that develop in long-term cancer survivors.

Pericardial Pathology

Diagnosis and sometimes therapy controls for the pericardial pathologies that cancer patients often develop.

Diagnosing and providing possible support in handling the thromboembolisms that frequently develop along with oncological pathologies, which often means there is a prothrombotic state.

Surgical Risk Assessment

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Cardiac Support

Supporting Accident and Emergency, conventional hospitalisation and home hospitalisation areas with cardiology diagnosis and therapy.

Tumour Committees

Participating in tumour committees that regularly recommend cardiotoxic drugs, such as the breast committee.
