ABSTRACT
El incremento de la supervivencia del enfermo con cáncer, junto con el desarrollo de nuevas terapias antitumorales, han puesto de relieve el impacto negativo que las complicaciones vasculares asociadas con el tratamiento oncohematológico tienen en la salud cardiovascular del paciente con cáncer. El objetivo de este documento de consenso, promovido por el Grupo de Trabajo de Cardio-oncología de la Sociedad Española de Cardiología (SEC) y elaborado conjuntamente con diferentes áreas de conocimiento de la SEC junto con la Sociedad Española de Hematología y Hemoterapia (SEHH), la Sociedad Española de Oncología Médica (SEOM), la Sociedad Española de Oncología Radioterápica (SEOR), la Sociedad Española de Médicos Generales y de Familia (SEMG), la Asociación Española de Especialistas en Medicina del Trabajo (AEEMT), la Asociación Española de Enfermería Cardiovascular (AEEC), la Fundación Española del Corazón (FEC) y la Asociación Española contra el Cáncer (AECC), es proporcionar un enfoque coordinado, multidisciplinar y práctico para la estratificación, la monitorización y el tratamiento del riesgo cardiovascular de los pacientes con cáncer.

Both cancer treatment and survival have significantly improved, but these advances have highlighted the deleterious effects of vascular complications associated with anticancer therapy. This consensus document aims to provide a coordinated, multidisciplinary and practical approach to the stratification, monitoring and treatment of cardiovascular risk in cancer patients. The document is promoted by the Working Group on Cardio Oncology of the Spanish Society of Cardiology (SEC) and was drafted in collaboration with experts from distinct areas of expertise of the SEC and the Spanish Society of Hematology and Hemotherapy (SEHH), the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM), the Spanish Society of Radiation Oncology (SEOR), the Spanish Society of General and Family Physicians (SEMG), the Spanish Association of Specialists in Occupational Medicine (AEEMT), the Spanish Association of Cardiovascular Nursing (AEEC), the Spanish Heart Foundation (FEC), and the Spanish Cancer Association (AECC).

Tanto la diabetes mellitus como la enfermedad renal crónica aumentan el riesgo de fibrilación auricular. A su vez, la concomitancia de diabetes mellitus y enfermedad renal crónica incrementa de manera sinérgica el riesgo tromboembólico asociado con la fibrilación auricular, lo que pone al paciente en esta situación en especial riesgo y obliga a no fijar nuestra actuación solo en la reducción del riesgo embólico, sino a buscar una protección general. Aunque todos los anticoagulantes orales reducen eficazmente el riesgo de ictus en el paciente diabético con fibrilación auricular, hay datos que indican que el rivaroxabán podría disminuir además la mortalidad cardiovascular en esta población, ofreciendo una protección adicional. Por otra parte, se ha descrito un empeoramiento de la función renal con el empleo de los antagonistas de la vitamina K (nefropatía por warfarina). En consecuencia, sería deseable que el tratamiento anticoagulante no solo disminuyera el riesgo de complicaciones tromboembólicas, sino que además no se asociara con este deterioro de la función renal. En este sentido, parece que algunos anticoagulantes orales de acción directa, como el dabigatrán y el rivaroxabán, tendrían un menor riesgo de eventos renales adversos en comparación con warfarina
Both diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease increase the risk of atrial fibrillation. In turn, the coexistence of diabetes and chronic kidney disease synergistically increases the thromboembolic risk associated with atrial fibrillation, which puts affected patients at a particularly high risk and makes it necessary to focus treatment not only on reducing the risk of embolism but also on providing more general prophylaxis. Although all oral anticoagulants are effective in reducing the risk of stroke in diabetic patients with atrial fibrillation, there are indications that rivaroxaban could also reduce cardiovascular mortality in this population, thereby providing additional benefits. Moreover, it has been reported that renal function deteriorates on vitamin K antagonist treatment (i.e. warfarin-related nephropathy). Consequently, the ideal anticoagulant treatment would decrease the risk of thromboembolic complications without also being associated with impaired renal function. In this context, it appears that some direct oral anticoagulants, such as dabigatran and rivaroxaban, may have a lower risk of adverse renal events than warfarin

La mejora en la supervivencia de los pacientes con cáncer ha puesto de manifiesto el impacto clínico que la cardiotoxicidad tiene en el pronóstico tanto cardiovascular como onco-hematológico, sobre todo cuando motiva la interrupción de terapias antitumorales altamente eficaces. La fibrilación auricular es una complicación frecuente en pacientes con cáncer activo y su tratamiento supone un gran reto. Estos pacientes tienen mayores riesgos tromboembólico y hemorrágico y, sin embargo, no se dispone de escalas específicas para guiar la atención clínica. El objetivo de este documento promovido por los grupos de Cardio-Onco-Hematología y Trombosis de la Sociedad Española de Cardiología y elaborado de manera conjunta con las diferentes áreas de conocimiento de la Sociedad Española de Cardiología y con expertos de la Sociedad Española de Oncología Médica, la Sociedad Española de Oncología Radioterápica y la Sociedad Española de Hematología y Hemoterapia, es proporcionar un enfoque multidisciplinario y práctico para la prevención y el tratamiento de la fibrilación auricular de pacientes con cáncer activo y basado en el consenso de expertos
Improvements in survival among cancer patients have revealed the clinical impact of cardiotoxicity on both cardiovascular and hematological and oncological outcomes, especially when it leads to the interruption of highly effective antitumor therapies. Atrial fibrillation is a common complication in patients with active cancer and its treatment poses a major challenge. These patients have an increased thromboembolic and hemorrhagic risk but standard stroke prediction scores have not been validated in this population. The aim of this expert consensus-based document is to provide a multidisciplinary and practical approach to the prevention and treatment of atrial fibrillation in patients with active cancer. This is a position paper of the Spanish Cardio-Oncology working group and the Spanish Thrombosis working group, drafted in collaboration with experts from the Spanish Society of Cardiology, the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology, the Spanish Society of Radiation Oncology, and the Spanish Society of Hematology
