Methaemoglobinaemia: From pathophysiology to contemporary clinical management
Summary Methaemoglobin (MetHb) is an oxidised form of haemoglobin (Hb) unable to bind oxygen. Raised levels of MetHb reduce the blood's oxygen‐carrying capacity, causing potentially severe hypoxaemia and possible death. The condition arises from three main pathologies: mutations in globin genes causing Haemoglobin‐M, inherited deficiency of the enzyme ...

Background and Purpose Musclin (osteocrin) is a skeletal muscle‐derived peptide that has been implicated in cardioprotective signalling pathways. Its relevance in cancer patients, who frequently experience muscle wasting and cardiotoxicity, remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether circulating Musclin levels reflect functional capacity and

Abstract Background and Purpose Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized cancer therapy, offering improvements in survival across various malignancies. However, their toxicities pose a major challenge for cardio‐oncology units. Despite their growing importance, data on effectiveness of such specialized units in mitigating ICI‐associated ...

Cardiotoxicity of BRAF/MEK inhibitors
Abstract Rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma type B/B‐Raf proto‐oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) and mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitors have transformed outcomes in cancer therapy, particularly in melanoma. However, cardiovascular toxicities are increasingly recognized in real‐world clinical practice.

A comprehensive review of cancer‐induced cardiac wasting
Cancer is frequently accompanied by cachexia, a systemic syndrome characterized by progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, with or without loss of fat mass. Increasing evidence indicates that cancer can also induce cardiac muscle wasting, which is associated with structural cardiac remodelling, impaired contractile function and the development of ...
