Cardio-oncology: The Overlap of Cardiovascular and Cancer Risk

The field of cardio-oncology is a vital area of healthcare, recognising the intricate connection between cardiovascular disease and cancer. In this week’s broadcast, presenter Dr Jessica Shank Coviello (Cizik School of Nursing at UTHealth Houston, US) describes the overlap of cardiovascular risk and cancer risk and discusses how the social determinants of health affect both cardiovascular and cancer risks. 

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.
