Exercise for the Prevention and Management of Cancer Therapy-Induced Cardiotoxicity Webinar
This webinar will discuss the pathophysiology, risk factors, and evidence for exercise in the setting of cancer therapy-induced cardiotoxicity, with an emphasis on practical applications for AEPs working with cancer survivors at risk of cardiotoxicity.
Improved cancer treatment is resulting in a rapidly growing population of cancer survivors, which now exceeds 1-million individuals in Australia alone. However, increases in cancer survival have unmasked the cardiovascular consequences of cancer treatment, with cardiovascular disease (CVD) rivalling cancer as the major cause of premature death for survivors of solid and hematologic cancer. The cardiovascular damage (termed cardiotoxicity) caused by several common and emerging cancer treatments is a key factor
underlying this shift, by increasing the risk of developing cardiac dysfunction, heart failure (HF), coronary artery disease and arrhythmias. This cardiovascular injury also results in marked reductions in cardiorespiratory fitness, functional limitations, and as a result, reduced quality of life.
Given the proven benefits of exercise for cardiovascular health and function in individuals living with or at risk for cardiovascular disease, there is growing interest in the role of exercise for the prevention and management of cardiotoxicity in cancer survivors. However as this is an emerging and rapidly growing area, there are few guidelines available to guide clinical practice in this setting. Therefore, this webinar will synthesise the current evidence base and provide clinicians with an up to date summary on how to perform evidence-based exercise assessment and prescription for cancer survivors at risk for cardiotoxicity.
Presented by Dr Stephen Foulkes, AES, AEP
Steve is a Clinical Exercise Physiologist and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Faculty of Nursing, University of Alberta (Canada) and the Sports Cardiology lab at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute. Steve has been a practicing AEP since 2015 with an emphasis on cancer survivors and individuals with cardiovascular sdisease, and completed his PhD in 2021 (Deakin University and the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute) focused on exercise training for the prevention of cancer therapy-induced cardiotoxicity.
Steve’s research is focused on using exercise testing and training to improve cardiovascular outcomes for individuals undergoing cancer treatment. Steve is interested in how cancer treatments such as chemotherapy affect the heart, blood vessels and muscles, which he studies through advanced exercise testing and imaging methods including cardiopulmonary exercise testing, exercise cardiac MRI and muscle MRI. Steve’s research also investigates how personalised exercise training interventions can be used to prevent the cardiotoxic effects of cancer therapy.
