Mashup Score: 79Pericardial Disease Center | UCSF Cardiology - 6 month(s) ago
What is Pericarditis? The pericardium is a protective, fluid-filled sac that surrounds the heart. It supports proper heart function and protects the heart from infection and trauma. Pericarditis is inflammation of the pericardium. Pericarditis is characterized by chest pain with associated electrocardiographic changes and usually pericardial effusion (fluid in the pericardium).

Mashup Score: 117Cardio-Oncology: A New Clinical Frontier and Novel Platform for Cardiovascular Investigation | Circulation - 7 month(s) ago
In the past 20 years, cardio-oncology has emerged as a new cardiovascular subspeciality. Older, nonspecific chemotherapies (such as anthracyclines) and radiation had been well-described cardiotoxic agents, with anthracycline-associated heart failure initially extensively studied in the pediatric population by Drs Steven Lipshultz (a cardiologist) and Stephen Sallan (an oncologist). The hope was that with the emergence of novel targeted therapies, these toxicities would be curtailed. However, > 20 years
