Key result
Chemotherapeutic drugs are associated with various ECG alterations, including QTc prolongation, abnormal ventricular repolarization, and arrhythmias, necessitating routine ECG monitoring.
Why the study?
Chemotherapy-induced cardiac dysfunction causes life-threatening electrophysiological abnormalities, but the literature on its specific effects and alterations seen on ECG across cancer stages and types needed review.
Do chemotherapeutic drugs cause electrocardiogram alterations and cardiotoxicities in cancer patients?

Kalra et al. (2021) conducted a review in Cancer and chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity. Chemotherapeutic drugs was evaluated on ECG changes and cardiotoxicity. Chemotherapeutic drugs are associated with various ECG alterations, including QTc prolongation, abnormal ventricular repolarization, and arrhythmias, necessitating routine ECG monitoring.
