Cardio-Oncology Conditions We Treat

Experts in the Cardio-Oncology Program at NYU Langone Heart prevent and treat cardiovascular complications that may arise from cancer treatment. These complications are known as cardio-oncologic conditions and may include the following.

  • cardiac tumors, which can be noncancerous (benign) or cancerous
  • cardiomyopathy or heart failure
  • congestive heart failure, which is caused by fluid buildup in the lungs, legs, or abdomen
  • coronary artery disease
  • heart attack, also known as myocardial infarction
  • heart disease
  • heart rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation (AFib) and atrial flutter and other types of arrhythmias
  • heart valve disease, or valvular disease, including mitral valve and aortic valve disease
  • hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure
  • lipid disorders (e.g., high cholesterol)
  • myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle
  • pericarditis, which is inflammation of the pericardium, the thin membrane surrounding the heart
  • pericardial effusion, the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pericardium, or other types of pericardial disease
  • thromboembolism, or a blood clot that forms in a vein, often deep in the legs and known as deep vein thrombosis; if the clot breaks loose, it can travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism
  • vasospasm, or the temporary narrowing of a blood vessel

Our specialists are dedicated to ensuring that your cardiovascular health is protected throughout your cancer experience to achieve the best possible outcomes.
