Overview
Cardio-oncology, the intersection of cardiology and oncology, plays a crucial role in managing cardiovascular complications in cancer patients undergoing treatment.
For the third edition of this series of weekly educational broadcasts, brought to you by IC-OS's partnership with Radcliffe, we delve into the critical issue of disparities within the field of cardio-oncology, how we can best understand and address these disparities, and explore potential solutions to bridge the gap.
Experts in this field, Dr Arnethea Sutton (VCU College of Humanities and Sciences, US) and Dr Khalid Matin (VCU Medical Center North Hospital, US), join us to share their insights on this important topic.
The partnership combines Radcliffe’s rapidly growing global community and expertise in delivering the most innovative virtual events, with the knowledge and experience of IC-OS’s members, to curate broadcasts that challenge current practice and have real-world patient benefits.
This broadcast is for cardiologists, haematologists, oncologists, nurse practitioners, nurses and pharmacists.
The International Cardio-Oncology Society is a committed group of professionals throughout the world who are striving to protect the cardiovascular health of all patients who are undergoing cancer therapy. By optimising the cardiac status of patients with cancer before, during and after their treatment, IC-OS are collectively improving the overall outcomes including survival and quality of life. IC-OS aim to provide the latest scientific and clinical education and research for anyone treating patients with cancer in the hopes of enhancing cardiovascular protection.

Dan Lenihan
Dr Dan Lenihan is a cardio-oncologist specialising in cardiology, heart disease and advanced heart failure, at Saint Francis Healthcare System, Cape Girardeau, US.
He is a co-Founder and Board Member of the International Cardio-Oncology Society (ICOS), which is an international professional association whose primary goal is to eliminate cardiac disease as a barrier to effective cancer therapy.
He is actively involved in patient care as the Director of the Cardio-Oncology Programme, Cardiac Rehabilitation, and the Heart Failure clinic at Saint Francis Healthcare System.
Wendy Bottinor
Dr Wendy Bottinor is a Cardio-oncologist at VCU Medical Center, Richmond, US. With a deep commitment to cardiovascular health among cancer survivors, Dr Bottinor has made significant strides in the field.
She earned her medical degree and completed her residency at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, US, followed by a cardiovascular fellowship at the University of Louisville and a cardio-oncology fellowship at Vanderbilt University. At Vanderbilt, she also obtained a Master of Science in Clinical Investigation (MSCI), fueling her passion for clinical and translational research.
Dr Bottinor’s research, supported by prominent organisations like the American Heart Association, ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group and St. Baldrick’s Foundation, focuses on understanding the burden of cardiovascular disease among childhood, adolescent and young adult cancer survivors. As a Wright Center KL2 Scholar, she leads the TREAT HF clinical trial, aiming to reduce morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease using biomarkers and non-invasive imaging techniques.
Her ultimate goal is to advance evidence-based approaches for risk stratification and treatment in cardio-oncology, ensuring better outcomes for cancer survivors.
