DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.960240
Abstract: The cardiotoxicity of fluoropyrimidines (FP) [5-Fluorouracil and Capecitabine] is often reported as acute cardiac ischemia with rest typical angina, signs of ischemia at electrocardiogram (ECG), and ventricular kinetics abnormalities. However, silent ischemia, effort-related toxicity, and… read more here.
