In the absence of evidence demonstrating otherwise, hypertension in cardio-oncology should be managed utilising the same treatment guidelines for the general population. The increase in cancer survivors has been accompanied by increasing cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality due to downstream side effects of treatment and an increasing age of patients due to improved survival. Furthermore, the utilisation of antihypertensives to control high BP has no effect on treatment outcome, suggesting that there is no contraindication to managing hypertension properly in patients treated with angiogenesis inhibitors [53] . These patients should be monitored closely during their chemotherapy (especially if angiogenesis inhibitors are utilised) and post treatment for the development of hypertension.
