Candesartan and carvedilol for primary prevention of subclinical cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients without a cardiovascular risk treated with doxorubicin

Abstract

Among breast cancer patients without a CV risk treated with doxorubicin-containing chemotherapy, subclinical cardiotoxicity is prevalent and concomitant administration of low-dose candesartan might be effective to prevent an early decrease in LVEF. Further large-scale, randomized controlled trials will be needed to confirm our findings.
