Types of cardiotoxicity

Type I Cardiotoxicity Type II Cardiotoxicity
• Early Onset Late Onset
• Myocardial damage • Myocardial Dysfunction
• Permanent / Irreversible Reversible in nature
• Dose-dependent effects • Cumulative Dose-independent effects
• Greater association with Cardiac Dysfunction and Clinical HF Increased loss of contractility and less myocyte death
• Typically, with Anthracyclines (Doxorubicin), Alkylating Agents Taxanes, Topoisomerase Inhibitors, Antimetabolites • Typically, with Trastuzumab, Bevacizumab, and other Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors, Immunomodulatory drugs, and Proteasome inhibitors but patients may develop type I cardiotoxicity in the long run
