  3. Overview • Cardiovascular disease is the number two killer of cancer survivors • 108 million baby boomers will enter healthcare industry by 2015 • By 2015 over 15 Million U.S. cancer survivors • Many definitions of a cancer survivor • Cardiologist viewpoint: survivorship starts at time of diagnosis (Dr.Fitzhugh)

  4. Overview • Cancer treatment has shifted to targeted therapies, with more than 30 new agents in the past five years • Life-saving drugs and cardiology approach should support use; not interrupt use • Limited randomized controlled trials on prevention of cardiotoxicity • Treatment is based on prevention, early detection, prevention of progression heart failure

  5. Late Mortality Among 5 Year Survivors of Childhood Cancer CCSS N=20,483 Armstrong GT et al. JCO.2009;27:2328-2338

  6. Risk Factors for Heart Failure • Valvular heart disease • Congenital heart defects • Other: • Obesity • Age • Reduced or falling vital capacity • Smoking • High of low hematocrit level • CAD or history of MI • Hypertension • Diabetes • Alcoholism • Cardiotoxic drugs • Inherited cardiomyopathies • Sleep apnea

  7. Dexrazoxane Dexrazoxane

  8. Two different Top2: a and b Doxorubicin poisons both Top2a and Top2b. Proliferating cells express Top2a. However, the adult heart only expresses Top2b. New Hypothesis Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity is mediated by Top2b

  9. Acute Model Top2b Top2b ∆/∆ ∆/∆ +/+ +/+ Control 15 mg/kg Doxorubicin IP

  10. Top2b is required for doxorubicin-induced ROS production Doxorubicin Topoisomerase IIb ? Reactive Oxygen Species

  18. 703 patients (216 males) • Age 47±12 years • Treated with HDC • Poor prognosis malignancies • Follow-up = 48 months • MACE incidence • TnI serum determination: • Baseline = Before HDC • Early = soon after HDC (0,12,24,36,72 hours) • Late = 1 month after HDC Circulation 2004

  19. Cardiac Events 3.5 Year Follow-up Transient TnI + Negative TnI Persistent TnI + # * Sudden death Cardiac death Acute pulmonary edema Heart failure Asymptomatic LVEF >25% Life-threatening arrhythmias Conduction disturbances requiring PM implantation 84% * 37% 1% *= p<0.001 vs. TnI - #= p<0.001 vs. TnI +- Circulation 2004

  20. Cardiac Risk Stratification = High risk Persistent TnI+ = Intermediate risk Transient TnI+ = Negative TnI Low risk Positive predictive value = 84% Negative predictive value = 99%

  24. Echo Versus MUGA? Echo • Valvular heart disease • Wall motion abnormalities • Pulmonary pressures • Hemodynamics • Diastology • Strain MUGA • Accurate for low ejection fraction • Less accurate with rhythm disorders • No information on valvular disorders • Little information on wall motion abnormalities

  25. Class I Indications Assessment of LV Function • Suspected cardiomyopathy or CHF • Edema with clinical signs of increased CVP • Dyspnea or clinical signs of heart disease • Unexplained hypotension • Exposure to cardiotoxic agents • “Pre-chemo” • Re-evaluation change in status or Rx ACC/AHA/ASE Guidelines of Echo 2003

  29. Cancer patients: risks for prolonged QTc . • molecularly targeted agents with  QTc • adjuvant regimens, long treatment periods •  survival  emphasis toxicity reduction

  30. WHEN TO WORRY ABOUT QT? • More than 25% prolongation of QTc interval from the baseline or a QTc interval longer than 500 msincreases the risk of precipitation of drug-induced torsade de pointes • More than 90% of incidences of drug-induced torsade de pointes occur with QTc values of more than 500 ms Bednar MM et al. Am. J. Cardiol 2002;89:1316–1319 GowdaRM et al. Int J Cardiol 2004;96:1-6

  31. TREATMENT • Discontinuation of the offending agent: Any offending agent should be withdrawn. Predisposing conditions such as hypokalemia, hypomagnesaemia, and bradycardia should be identified and corrected. • (>90% of time, we just stop supportive cast of medications)

  32. PROGNOSIS • Because Long QT interval is primarily an electrical disorder, in the absence of structural heart disease and LV dysfunction, the long-term prognosis is good as long as the offending agents and risk factors are corrected and arrhythmia is controlled.

  33. Things to Consider • More than 500 known tyrosine kinases from Human Genome Project • Over 250 of these tyrosine kinases are cloned, and expressed • 7 Tyrosine kinases are FDA approved • 4 Tyrosine kinases targeted (17 kinases in vivo) • How many kinases in the human genome are cardiac specific?

  34. Selective vs. Non-Selective Kinase Binding Profiles Kinase-binding profiles of the ABL inhibitors imatinib (upper panel), dasatinib (middle panel), and bosutinib (bottom panel) across a set of protein kinases simultaneously identified from K562 cells. The bars indicate the IC50 values, defined as the concentration of drug at which half-maximal competition of kinobead binding is observed. Nature Biotechnology 25(9)2007

  44. Conclusions • Cardiologists and oncologists must collaborate • Exciting new cancer therapies are being discovered, however, in order to maximize their potential, cardiac toxicities need to be identified and addressed upfront • Although recent clinical experience has shown significant cardiotoxicity post-trial with cancer therapies, we have also seen resolution of toxicity using evidence-based cardiology guidelines (beta blockers need further study) • More collaborative work with biomarkers/cardiac imaging for early detection and treatment
