Original Abstract of the Article :
A wide spectrum of cardiovascular (CV) toxicity is associated with anticancer treatment, and nearly all chemotherapeutic agents can elicit CV toxicity. Inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases 4/6 (CDK4/6Is) have become standard of care in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal gr...See full text at original site

Second-Degree Type 2 Atrioventricular Block Requiring Permanent Cardiac Pacing in Patients on CDK4/6 Inhibitors

CDK4/6 inhibitors are increasingly used to treat certain types of breast cancer, but their potential cardiovascular side effects are still being investigated. This case report describes two patients who developed second-degree type 2 atrioventricular block requiring permanent cardiac pacing after receiving CDK4/6 inhibitors.

Cardiovascular Side Effects of CDK4/6 Inhibitors

This report highlights the importance of monitoring patients receiving CDK4/6 inhibitors for cardiovascular side effects. It underscores the need for vigilance in managing these potentially serious complications.

Further Research Needed

This case report emphasizes the need for further research to fully understand the cardiovascular risks associated with CDK4/6 inhibitors. This is crucial for ensuring the safe and effective use of these drugs in treating breast cancer patients.

Dr. Camel's Conclusion

This case report serves as a reminder that even with advancements in cancer treatment, vigilance is crucial in monitoring for potential side effects. It's like navigating a desert where hidden dangers may lurk beneath the surface. We need to stay informed about the risks associated with new therapies to ensure the safety and well-being of our patients.
