Overview
In this broadcast entitled 'Cardiac Imaging to Detect Cardiotoxicity From Proteasome Inhibitors in Alignment with ESC Guidelines' the faculty will be addressing the critical balance between therapeutic progress and cardiac safety in oncology. Exploring cutting-edge cardiac imaging techniques, their applications and their integration with ESC's guidelines to ensure patient safety and optimise clinical 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.

Dr Dan Lenihan is a cardio-oncologist specialising in cardiology, heart disease and advanced heart failure, at Saint Francis Healthcare System, Cape Girardeau, US.
He is a co-Founder and Board Member of the International Cardio-Oncology Society (ICOS), which is an international professional association whose primary goal is to eliminate cardiac disease as a barrier to effective cancer therapy.
He is actively involved in patient care as the Director of the Cardio-Oncology Programme, Cardiac Rehabilitation, and the Heart Failure clinic at Saint Francis Healthcare System.
Marielle Scherrer-Crosbie
Dr Marielle Scherrer-Crosbie is the Director of the Echocardiography Laboratory at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Philadelphia, US. Her main research interests are in the use of imaging and biomarkers in cardio-oncology both in human populations and in small animal models. She also uses small animal models in studying subclinical cardiac dysfunction in metabolic abnormalities.
Teresa López Fernández
Prof Teresa López Fernández is a clinical investigator and consultant cardiologist at La Paz University Hospital in Madrid, ES. She specialises in cardiac imaging (she is board certified in advanced and transesophageal echocardiography by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC)) and cardio-oncology (she is board certified by the International Cardio-Oncology Society), and currently coordinates the cardio-oncology team at La Paz University Hospital. She is the founder and chair of the Spanish Cardio-Oncology Working Group at the Spanish Society of Cardiology (SEC) and the Secretary of the ESC Council of Cardio-Oncology.
Michaela Liedtke
Michaela Liedtke, is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, US where she also serves as the Medical Director of the Leukemia inpatient service, Co-Director of the Stanford Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer program, and Co-Director of the Stanford Amyloid Center.
She specialises in research and treatment of multiple myeloma/amyloidosis and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, with particular interest in adolescents and young adults and CAR-T cell technology, and has contributed to numerous clinical and translational studies in her field.
Dr Liedtke is an active member of the American Society of Hematology and the American Society of Clinical Oncology, serves on the Leukemia committee for the Southwest Oncology Group, and is a member of the NCCN Multiple Myeloma and AL amyloidosis Panel.
Kevin M Alexander
Dr Alexander is an advanced heart failure-trained cardiologist. He is also an Assistant Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, US.
Dr Alexander specialises in the management of advanced heart failure and transplant cases, seeing a wide range of patients. He also has an active research laboratory, studying various forms of heart failure.
Dr Alexander has expertise in diagnosing and treating transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis, a critical yet underdiagnosed cause of heart failure among African Americans and the elderly. He is conducting extensive research to enhance our understanding of this condition, with grant support from the National Institutes of Health and American Heart Association, among other sources.
