Abstract
Purpose of Review
The current review describes the role of the cardio-oncology nurse and the need for personalized heart failure care for the patient with cancer.
Recent Findings
It is a new role whereby cardiology or heart failure nurses care for patients with cancer who develop cardiotoxicity or cardiovascular diseases, either during the cancer therapy or in a later stage. Inter-disciplinary approach is important for individualized early treatment, shortened interruptions to cancer therapy, and irreversible cardiovascular injury prevention. Nurses have a key role in early evaluation and quality control of the care provided.
Summary
This is a quite new clinical area and not much evidence exists for the development of clinical guidelines and pathways to support clinicians. More trials are needed for the development of clinical recommendations.
