Cardiology

ivo.es › Cardiology

The IVO’s cardiology service is responsible for the study, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in oncology patients.

The cardiological problems of cancer patients, usually the elderly ones, have several clearly defined characteristics that must be addressed through a permanent interrelationship between the cardiologist and those responsible for their oncological monitoring.

Activity of this Service

The cardiology department carries out its activities in permanent contact with the other departments responsible for monitoring the disease in each patient. In cancer patients, the cardiological issue encompasses multiple dimensions:

Cardiovascular Toxicity

Diagnosing and treating cardiovascular toxicity generated by cancer treatment using chemotherapy drugs.

Cardiovascular Pathology

Diagnosing and treating cardiovascular pathologies that develop in long-term cancer survivors.

Pericardial Pathology

Diagnosis and sometimes therapy controls for the pericardial pathologies that cancer patients often develop.
