Cardiotoxic effects induced by the use of antimetabolites in the chemotherapy of oncological diseases

In modern medical practice, the treatment of cancer is one of the most pressing issues. Many of the drugs used in the treatment of cancer have a toxic effect on the cardiovascular system of patients. The main clinical manifestations of cardiotoxicity are ischemic heart damage, rhythm disturbances, t...
