Cardiologist-Performed Baseline Evaluation with an Assessment of Coronary Status for Prostate Cancer Patients Undergoing Androgen Deprivation Therapy: Impact on Newly Diagnosed Coronary Artery Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Given the potential cardiovascular risks of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), it is essential to identify patients who may be at an increased risk for coronary artery disease (CAD). Despite the recent ESC recommendations, there is no consensus on when to refer a patient to a cardiologist for further evaluation.

Objective

To report on new diagnoses of CAD in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) requiring ADT who underwent a systematic cardio-onco evaluation with an assessment of their coronary status.

Design, setting, and participants

This is a retrospective, monocentric study that included patients with PCa who had completed a cardio-onco evaluation with an assessment of their coronary status in the cardio-oncology department at the Western Cancer Institut
