Cardiotoxic Therapies in Cancer Treatment: What Providers Need to Know
Thanks to advances in treatment, more people are surviving cancer and living into their 60s, 70s, and beyond. But with this increase in survival has also come an increase in cardiovascular disease for this population. As a result, providers must keep cardiotoxicity in mind as they implement treatment plans for their patients, says Eman Hamad, MD, director of Cardio-Oncology and the Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Program at Temple University Hospital.

Evaluation of Dyspnea
Dyspnea and dyspnea on exertion are among the most common patient complaints both in the office and in the hospital setting. While in-hospital evaluations tend to have a more acute focus, outpatient office evaluations of dyspnea tend to be more varied and nuanced in their etiology. Pulmonary function testing and cardiopulmonary exercise testing are important modalities to help differentiate causes of dyspnea.

LDCT+: A New Approach in Early Lung Disease Detection - Webinar
View Archive of this live webinar | Annual low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening has transformed early lung cancer detection, yet many patients remain underdiagnosed for coexisting conditions like COPD—an independent risk factor for lung cancer and a major comorbidity affecting survival.

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) and Associated Pulmonary Hypertension
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a commonly encountered disease state. Patients who develop ILD associated with pulmonary hypertension have an increased mortality risk. This program aims to review the classification of commonly encountered interstitial lung diseases. Secondly, to describe the pathophysiology that leads to the development of ILD associated pulmonary hypertension. Lastly, to review a diagnostic approach to ILD associated pulmonary hypertension along with treatment options.

Cardiac Amyloidosis: What Providers Should Know About Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Over the past two decades, there has been a significant increase in both the incidence and prevalence of cardiac amyloidosis. This is most likely due to improved screening and diagnosis. However, even with these advances, delayed diagnosis is common. Diagnosis typically takes two years for patients with amyloid light-chain amyloidosis (AL), and up to 7.2 years for those with transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), explains Temple heart failure cardiologist Carly Fabrizio, DO.
