Heart Failure Treatment and Management

Addressing the need for more equitable cardio-oncology care requires attention to existing disparities in cardio-oncologic disease prevention and outcomes. This is particularly important among those affected by adverse social determinants of health (SDOH). The intricate relationship of SDOH, cancer diagnosis, and outcomes from cardiotoxicities associated with oncologic therapies is influenced by sociopolitical, economic, and cultural factors. Furthermore, mechanisms in cell signaling and epigenetic effects on gene expression link adverse SDOH to cancer and the CVD-related complications of oncologic therapies. To mitigate these disparities, a multifaceted strategy is needed that includes attention to health care access, policy, and community engagement for improved disease screening and management. Interdisciplinary teams must also promote cultural humility and competency and leverage new health technology to foster collaboration in addressing the impact of adverse SDOH in cardio-oncologic outcomes.
