Thus, with anthracycline initiation, regardless of dose, it may be reasonable to prioritize baseline cardiac imaging for patients with: 1) established or suspected CVD based on past medical history (e.g. myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, moderate or greater valvular disease); 2) signs or symptoms of cardiac dysfunction; 3) ≥2 risk factors for CTRCD, including age ≥ 60 years, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, smoking, or obesity. The optimal surveillance regimen during anthracycline chemotherapy remains incompletely In patients who develop CTRCD and require cardiac treatments and/or withholding of cancer therapy, repeat imaging should continue as per institutional standard of care.(10) ./cache/cord-278943-f80ucqqp.txt ./txt/cord-278943-f80ucqqp.txt
