RESUMEN
El reconocimiento inicial de la disfunción cardíaca ocasionada por estrategias terapéuticas aplicadas contra el cáncer fue realizado en la sexta década del siglo xx. La Cardiooncología es una nueva disciplina horizontal dirigida a la identificación de los pacientes en riesgo elevado para el desarrollo de toxicidad cardíaca. El eficaz desempeño inherente a la Cardiooncología pediátrica radica en la adecuada selección del medio diagnóstico capaz de identificar y evaluar los indicios de cardiotoxicidad mediante la detección de cambios precoces en la funcionalidad del miocardio tras la aplicación de terapias antitumorales y, sobre todo, la predicción a largo plazo de estos eventos en niños sobrevivientes de cáncer. La cardiotoxicidad secundaria a la terapéutica aplicada sobre estos pacientes es un problema de salud latente en nuestro país que precisa la adopción de medidas organizativas concebidas para su enfrentamiento. Se persigue contribuir a la estructuración de la atención integral correspondiente al niño con cáncer y afectado por cardiotoxicidad en Cuba(AU)
ABSTRACT
The initial recognition of cardiac dysfunction caused by therapeutic strategies applied against cancer was performed in the sixth decade of the twentieth century. Cardio-Oncology is a new horizontal discipline aimed at the identification of patients at high risk for the development of cardiac toxicity. The effective performance inherent in Pediatric cardio-oncology lies in the appropriate selection of the diagnostic mean which can be capable of identifying and evaluating the indications of heart toxicity by detecting early changes in myocardial functionality after the application of anti-tumour therapies and, above all, the long-term prediction of these events in children survivors of cancer. Cardiac toxicity secondary to the therapies applied on these patients is a latent health problem in our country that requires the adoption of organisational measures conceived for their confrontation. It is pursued to contribute to the structuring of the comprehensive care corresponding to children with cancer and affected by cardiotoxicity in Cuba(AU)
