Overview
The secondary prevention can be used in the treatment of cardiac tumors in children to prevent the adverse effects of Anthracyclines. Anthracyclines are commonly used in the treatment of cardiac malignancy in children.
Secondary Prevention
Definition: Secondary prevention focuses on early illness identification and targets persons who appear healthy but have subclinical disease types. The subclinical disease is characterized by pathologic alterations, but lacks overt manifestations that can be diagnosed during a doctor's visit.
Echocardiograph can be used for screening in patients with Tuberous sclerosis and other genetic syndromes and help in secondary prevention.
- The concept of secondary prevention is effective in the chemotherapeutic treatment of cardiac tumors in children.
- Most pharmaceutical approaches for long-term tumor survivors exposed to cardiotoxic medications have been adopted from investigations of adults.
- The lifestyle changes and reduction of cardiac risk factors after the development of cardiac failure due to chemo. constitute secondary prevention.
- To avoid the development of silent LVSD to clinical disease, these measures include proactive screening and administration of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and Beta-blockers.[1]
