Does carvedilol improve symptoms and left ventricular function in doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy?
This first reported case suggests carvedilol may be an effective treatment for doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy unresponsive to standard therapy.
Fazio et al. (1998) conducted a case report in Doxorubicin-induced dilated cardiomyopathy (n=1). Carvedilol was evaluated on Clinical recovery and improvement of left ventricular dysfunction. Carvedilol treatment led to complete clinical recovery and significant improvement of left ventricular dysfunction in a patient with doxorubicin-induced dilated cardiomyopathy.
