Oncological pathology is very prevalent in the population and requires chemotherapy drugs and radiotherapy for its cure. These treatments can cause damage to the heart, blood vessels, tension, etc. Therefore, we carry out the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring and treatment of any condition that may appear at the cardiac level influenced by these treatments, coordinated with oncology for monitoring, as well as the use of cardioprotective drugs to avoid irreversible damage.
