For someone facing a cancer diagnosis, heart health may not seem like an immediate priority. Ever since the introduction of chemotherapy, however, doctors have known certain cancer treatments can cause cardiac issues.

Come hear how cardio-oncologists provide preventative heart care for cancer patients. Experts from St. Elizabeth Heart & Vascular Institute and Mayo Clinic will explore the topic, starting with the basics of how cancer treatment can affect the heart, and how cardiologists and oncologists are working together to personalize treatments based on a patient’s risk factors to minimize heart damage.
