The aim of the current survey was to describe the functioning of cardio-oncology (C-O) units in Spain.
All members of the Spanish Society of Cardiology pertaining to scientific communities related to C-O received questionnaires on the existence of specific programs at their institutions. A second, more extensive questionnaire was sent to the centers which reported C-O organization.
We identified 56 centers with C-O programs of which 32 (62.5%) replied to the extended questionnaire. 28% of all centers reported having a multidisciplinary unit involving specialists in several areas. More than 80% of the centers developed surveillance protocols locally adapted which included advanced echocardiographic techniques (68%) or troponin (82%).
The number of institutions with C-O programs is still limited but higher than reported in a survey in 2017. Development of multidisciplinary units of C-O should be promoted to improve the cardiovascular health of cancer patients.
本调查旨在描述西班牙心脏肿瘤学(C-O)团队的运作情况。
西班牙心脏病学会中与 C-O 相关的科学领域的所有成员都收到了有关其所在机构特定项目的调查问卷。第二份更广泛的问卷被发送给了报告 C-O 组织的中心。
我们确定了 56 个具有 C-O 项目的中心,其中 32 个(62.5%)回复了扩展问卷。所有中心的 28%报告称拥有涉及多个领域专家的多学科团队。超过 80%的中心制定了当地适应的监测方案,其中包括先进的超声心动图技术(68%)或肌钙蛋白(82%)。
虽然具有 C-O 项目的机构数量仍然有限,但高于 2017 年调查的报告数量。应促进多学科 C-O 团队的发展,以改善癌症患者的心血管健康。
