Cardiotoxicity of anthracycline-type chemotherapeutics in the official list of medicines of the Caja Costarricense del Seguro Social

Cardiotoxicity associated with the use of chemotherapy has been largely corroborated along multiple clinical trials. In Costa Rica, the development of Cardio-oncologic Units has begun recently in various medical centers with the purpose of achieving an early detection of the deleterious cardiovascular effect associated with different chemotherapeutics. This review consists of a summary of the clinical manifestations related to the use of anthracyclines available in the Costa Rican public health system.

Keywords : Chemotherapy; Cardiotoxicity; Oncology; Anthracyclines.
