Résumé

Cancer is associated with early changes in the cardiovascular system (CV) before overt cardiotoxicity. Endothelial dysfunction is induced by chemotherapeutic regimens but there is no data for endothelial glycocalyx in cancer. Sixty-four patients with cancer (65.6% with solid tumors and 34.4% with hematological malignancies) and 32 controls from the outpatient cardiology clinic were included in the study. The perfused boundary region (PBR) of the sublingual arterial microvessels, Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AI) were measured. A standard transthoracic echocardiogram plus assessment of global longitudinal strain (GLS) of all cardiac chambers were performed. There was no difference in the baseline profile (age, sex, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and coronary artery disease) and in the echocardiographic parameters between the two groups, with the exception of left atrial volume (33.3 ± 13 in cancer patients vs 27.6 ± 6.5 ml/m Endothelial function as assessed by endothelial glycocalyx thickness is significantly impaired in cancer patients without overt cardiotoxicity. This implies that PBR might be useful for the early assessment of microvascular and endothelial toxicity of cancer.

BACKGROUND
Cancer is associated with early changes in the cardiovascular system (CV) before overt cardiotoxicity. Endothelial dysfunction is induced by chemotherapeutic regimens but there is no data for endothelial glycocalyx in cancer.
METHODS
Sixty-four patients with cancer (65.6% with solid tumors and 34.4% with hematological malignancies) and 32 controls from the outpatient cardiology clinic were included in the study. The perfused boundary region (PBR) of the sublingual arterial microvessels, Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AI) were measured. A standard transthoracic echocardiogram plus assessment of global longitudinal strain (GLS) of all cardiac chambers were performed.
RESULTS
There was no difference in the baseline profile (age, sex, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and coronary artery disease) and in the echocardiographic parameters between the two groups, with the exception of left atrial volume (33.3 ± 13 in cancer patients vs 27.6 ± 6.5 ml/m
CONCLUSIONS
Endothelial function as assessed by endothelial glycocalyx thickness is significantly impaired in cancer patients without overt cardiotoxicity. This implies that PBR might be useful for the early assessment of microvascular and endothelial toxicity of cancer.
