DALLAS, Jan. 6, 2021 Statins, common cholesterol-lowering medications, may protect women s hearts from damage caused during chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer, according to new research published today in the
Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access journal of the American Heart Association. Two types of cancer medications, anthracyclines and trastuzumab, are effective treatments for many women with breast cancer, however, the risk of heart muscle damage has limited their use, particularly in women who are at higher risk for heart problems because of their age or other medical issues, said Husam Abdel-Qadir, M.D., Ph.D., lead author of the study, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Toronto s Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation, and a cardiologist at Women s College Hospital and the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre, part of the University Health Network in Toronto.
