Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The characterization, management, and prevention of cardiotoxicity, whether caused by pharmacological agents (cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular) or environmental exposures, compose a growing area of research. Cancer chemotherapeutics, in particular, have multiple off-target effects on the cardiovascular system, and studying these effects has led to the birth of the new cardio-oncology field. This Special Issue aims to present the latest advances in the study of cardiotoxicity and especially the field of cardio-oncology, in order to better understand the underlying mechanisms and improve the cardiac safety of therapeutic interventions. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Cardiac effects, molecular mechanisms, and signaling pathways of drugs, xenobiotics, and environmental toxins
  • Cardiovascular effects of classic cancer chemotherapeutics (e.g., anthracyclines) and new agents (e.g., immune checkpoint inhibitors)
  • Safety and efficacy of novel cardioprotective agents against cardiotoxicity
  • Development and validation of in vivo and in vitro models to study cardiotoxicity

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diseases is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T) are improving outcomes in pediatric and adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias and subtypes of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T) are improving outcomes in pediatric and adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias and subtypes of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. As this treatment is being increasingly utilized, a better understanding of the unique toxicities associated with this therapy is warranted. While there is growing knowledge on the diagnosis and treatment of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), relatively little is known about the associated cardiac events that occur with CRS that may result in prolonged length of hospital stay, admission to the intensive care unit for pressor support, or cardiac death. This review focuses on the various manifestations of cardiotoxicity, potential risk factors, real world and clinical trial data on prevalence of reported cardiotoxicity events, and treatment recommendations.
