Global pattern of cardiovascular disease management in patients with cancer and impact of COVID-19 on drug selection: IRAQ-IC-OS survey-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Regional variations in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD management are well known. However, there is limited information on geographical variations in the discipline of Cardio-Oncology, including both the nature of CVD in patients with cancer and its management. Furthermore, during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, CV care for patients was disrupted resulting in an unknown impact on cardio-oncology services.

Objective

The aim of this study was to identify the regional variations in the management of CVD among patients with cancer and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the selection of cardiovascular drugs in cardio-oncology.

Methods

An online survey was conducted by the Iraq Chapter of the International Cardio-Oncology Society (IC-OS). The survey was sh
