Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Purpose: This review aims to highlight the different types of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity and will discuss the evidence base behind the use of different cardiac biomarkers to predict cardiovascular complications. Additionally, we will review the use of cardiac biomarkers to monitor cardiac outcomes and the role of cardioprotective medications in reducing cardiovascular side effects.Recent findings: Chemotherapy has been linked to an increased risk of cardiotoxicity and heart failure. Currently, patients receiving chemotherapy undergo echocardiogram before starting chemotherapy and every 6 months to monitor for any decline in cardiac function. We reviewed the current evidence and practice guidelines of monitoring chemotherapy cardiotoxicity.Summary: Cardio-oncology is a rapidly evolving subspecialty in cardiology, especially with the advent of new chemotherapeutic agents, which have cardiovascular side effects. Early detection of these effects is crucial to prevent life-threatening and irreversible cardiovascular outcomes. Monitoring troponin, pro-brain natriuretic peptide, and other cardiac biomarkers during chemotherapy will help to early detect cardiotoxicity.
