How Does Cancer Affect the Heart?
Some cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy, can weaken the heart over time. This may increase the risk of:
– High blood pressure
– Heart failure
– Irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias)
Patients with pre-existing heart conditions may be more vulnerable to heart-related side effects from cancer treatments.
How to Protect Your Heart During Cancer Treatment
– Monitor Your Heart Health – Regular check-ups and heart screenings can help catch issues early.
– Eat a Heart-Healthy Diet – Choose foods that lower inflammation, such as berries, nuts, leafy greens, and lean proteins.
– Stay Active – Even light exercise, like walking, can benefit heart health.
– Manage Stress – Meditation, deep breathing, and support groups can help reduce stress on your heart.
– Communicate with Your Doctor – Let your oncologist and cardiologist work together to create a plan that protects both your heart and your cancer treatment plan.
Heart health and cancer care go hand in hand. Taking steps to protect your heart can improve overall well-being and enhance recovery.
