Abstract
Purpose of review: The co-occurrence of heart failure (HF) and cancer represents a complex and multifaceted medical challenge. Patients with prevalent cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly HF, exhibit an increased risk of cancer development, raising questions about the intricate interplay between these two prevalent conditions. This review aims to explore the evolving landscape of cancer development in patients with HF, shedding light on potential mechanisms, risk factors, and clinical implications.
Recent findings: Epidemiological data suggests higher cancer incidences and higher cancer mortality in HF patients, which are potentially more common in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction due to related comorbidities. Moreover, recent preclinical data identified novel pathways and mediators including the protein SerpinA3 as potential drivers of cancer progression in HF patients, suggesting HF as an individual risk factor for cancer development. The review emphasizes preliminary evidence supporting cancer development in patients with HF, which offers several important clinical interventions such as cancer screening in HF patients, prevention addressing both HF and cancer, and molecular targets to treat cancer. However, there is need for more detailed understanding of molecular and cellular cross-talk between cancer and HF which can be derived from prospective assessments of cancer-related outcomes in CV trials and preclinical research of molecular mechanisms.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of heart failure. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as investigative, pharmacologic, and nonpharmacologic therapies, pathophysiology, and prevention. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
