  • Know that anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity still occurs with contemporary dosing regimens and may lead to heart failure.
  • Recognize that molecularly targeted cancer therapies, including HER2 antagonists, kinase inhibitors, and immune checkpoint inhibitors are associated with an array of cardiovascular complications.
