ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Baseline cardiovascular (CV) risk stratification is recommended in all cancer patients. Integrating all clinical information (personal/family history, ECG and echocardiogram) can properly identify high-risk patients. We aimed to evaluate the concealed inherited CV conditions detected in mandatory CV screening performed at a Cardio-Oncology Unit.METHODS:
retrospective study of all consecutive cancer patients referred to the Cardio-Oncology Unit for CV evaluation (2020-2023). Inherited CV conditions diagnosis and genetic testing was performed according to guidelines.RESULTS:
1984 cancer patients underwent CV screening. Sanger sequencing was indicated in 1 patient, excluding the genetic family disease. NGS sequencing was performed in 11 cancer patients with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 2 due to aortic syndrome evaluation (identifying 1 vascular Ehrler-Danlos syndrome due to COL3A1 p.Arg242Ter), 4 channelopathies (2 Long QT syndrome and 2 Brugada's), 4 hypertrophic cardiomyopathies and 1 non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy (NDLVC). Among the 12 patients with reduced LVEF, one was diagnosed with NDLVC, and chemotherapy-induced dilated cardiomyopathy was only ascribable in 3 of them.CONCLUSION:
Integrating clinical information at mandatory baseline CV toxicity risk cardio-oncology evaluation, can identify high-risk cancer patients with concealed inherited conditions. Keeping an "inherited cardiovascular disease-oriented mindset" to implement opportunist screenings is encouraged.Palabras clave
