Overview
In this month’s Journal Club, Dr Rebeca Lorca (University of Oviedo, ES) presents a recently published paper that explores the proactive use of an "Inherited Cardiovascular Disease Mindset" during cardio-oncology evaluations.
Our expert panel will discuss how incorporating this mindset can enhance the detection of hidden inherited conditions, ultimately benefiting patient care and outcomes.
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 is collectively improving the overall outcomes including survival and quality of life. IC-OS aims to provide the latest scientific and clinical education and research for anyone treating patients with cancer in the hopes of enhancing cardiovascular protection.
