CardioNerds (Dr. Daniel Ambinder, Dr. Giselle Suero Abreu, Dr. Kahtan Fadah, and Dr. Colin Blumenthal) discuss arrhythmias in CardioOncology with Dr. Michael Fradley. In this episode, Dr. Michael Fradley joins us in the CardioNerds CardioOncology clinic where he uses his unique dual training in cardio-oncology and electrophysiology to walk us through the complex interplay and management of these disorders. We discuss the incidence and pathophysiology of these arrhythmias, including the link with various cancer treatments, screening and detection, and complex management including rate vs rhythm control in atrial fibrillation, need for anticoagulation, effects on the QTc and so much more. Given the unique challenges with this population we also delve into how this affects their oncology care and how to approach changes to their cancer treatment. Show notes were drafted by Dr. Kahtan Fadah and episode audio was edited by student Dr. Tina Reddy. This episode is supported by a grant from Pfizer Inc. This CardioNerds Cardio-Oncology series is a multi-institutional collaboration made possible by contributions of stellar fellow leads and expert faculty from several programs, led by series co-chairs, Dr. Giselle Suero Abreu, Dr. Dinu Balanescu, and Dr. Teodora Donisan.

Pearls and Quotes - Arrhythmias in CardioOncology Arrhythmias are common in cancer patients due to shared risk factors and bi-directional risk between cardiac and oncologic disorders. Many cancer therapeutics can be directly arrhythmogenic or lead to cardiotoxicities that pre-dispose to arrhythmias. Though incidence of arrhythmia can be significant increased with some cancer therapeutics (e.g. ibrutinib), there is not specific data to support proactive ambulatory monitoring for arrhythmia without evidence of clear symptoms. Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in cancer patients and management of atrial fibrillation, as well as other tachyarrhythmias, is unchanged from management in non-cancer patients. General principles of when to start anticoagulation or rate vs rhythm control are not significantly different (e.g. still use CHA2DS2-VAsC, monitor for symptoms etc), but providers should be more mindful of drug-drug interactions with cancer therapeutics. Cancer therapeutics as well as common medications used to treat side effects or complications (e.g. antiemetics, antibiotics, etc) can prolong the QT interval and increase risk of Torsades de pointes (TdP). The QTc should be monitored with an ECG for patients on these medications. If a patient does develop a serious arrhythmia like TdP, management is similar to that in non-cancer patients. The goal of arrhythmia management in cardio-oncology is to prevent cardiovascular disease from becoming a barrier to appropriate cancer therapy. Though cancer therapeutics should be temporarily or permanently discontinued in potentially fatal events (e.g TdP from QTc prolonging meds), the overall goal is to manage the arrhythmias appropriately to allow cancer therapeutics to be continued or restarted. Show notes - Arrhythmias in CardioOncology What is the prevalence of arrhythmias in patients with cancer? Arrhythmias are common in patients with cancer due to a multitude of factors. Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in this population and occurs in approximately 5% of patients with cancer. The driving forces are multifactorial and include the direct arrhythmogenic effects of cancer therapeutics and cardiotoxicities of cancer therapeutics that make arrhythmogenesis more likely. Additionally, there is a bi-directional link between cancer and cardiac disorders. For example, not only is atrial fibrillation more common in patien...
