Abstract

There is a known association between chemotherapy and radiotherapy for treatment of cancer patients and development or worsening of hypertension. The aim of this article is to review this association. A literature search was conducted for articles reporting this association on the databases PubMed, SciELO and LILACS between 1993 and 2013. There was a high coprevalence of hypertension and cancer, since both diseases share the same risk factors, such as sedentary lifestyle, obesity, smoking, unhealthy diet and alcohol abuse. The use of chemotherapy and adjuvant drugs effective in the treatment of cancer increased the survival rate of these patients and, consequently, increased the incidence of hypertension. We described the association between the use of angiogenesis inhibitors (bevacizumab, sorafenib and sunitinib), corticosteroids, erythropoietin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with the development of hypertension. We also described the relationship between hypertension and carotid baroreceptor injury secondary to cervical radiotherapy. Morbidity and mortality increased in patients with cancer and hypertension without proper antihypertensive treatment. We concluded that there is need for early diagnosis, effective monitoring and treatment strategies for hypertension in cancer patients in order to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.Há associação conhecida entre a quimioterapia e a radioterapia utilizadas no tratamento do paciente com Câncer (CA) e o desenvolvimento ou agravamento da Hipertensão Arterial (HA). Este artigo teve como objetivo revisar a referida associação. Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica nas bases PubMed, SciELO e LILACS, entre 1993 e 2013, que relatasse tal associação. Observou-se maior coprevalência entre HA e CA por ambas as doenças compartilharem dos mesmos fatores de risco, tais como sedentarismo, obesidade, tabagismo, alimentação inadequada e abuso de álcool. O uso de quimioterápicos e fármacos adjuvantes eficazes no tratamento do CA aumentou a sobrevida desses pacientes e, consequentemente, a maior incidência de HA. Descreveuse a associação entre o uso dos inibidores de angiogênese (bevacizumab, sorafenib e sunitinib), corticoides, eritropoetina e anti-inflamatórios não esteroidais com o desenvolvimento de HA. Também foi relatada a relação entre hipertensão e lesão do barorreceptor carotídeo secundária a radioterapia cervical. A morbimortalidade aumentou nos pacientes com CA e hipertensos sem tratamento anti-hipertensivo adequado. Concluiu-se pela necessidade de diagnóstico precoce, estratégias de monitorização e tratamento efetivo da HA no paciente com CA com objetivo de diminuir a morbimortalidade cardiovascular.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 August 2020.
All research outputs
#19,942,887
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia
#733
of 1,210 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#186,575
of 270,187 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia
#4
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,210 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 270,187 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 5 of them.
