Tratamiento con antraciclinas, un antecedente sospechoso

Abstract

Resumen: Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 72 años con antecedente de linfoma de Hodgkin B difuso hace 5 años, tratado con antraciclinas, con remisión completa del cuadro, a la que se le realizó ecocardiogramas de control durante 2 años, sin observarse alteración cardiaca. Consulta por disnea y nicturia. Ante el cuadro que refería y el antecedente del uso de antraciclinas se deriva al Servicio de Cardiología, donde se le realizaron pruebas que objetivaron miocardiopatía dilatada con marcada disminución de la fracción de eyección. Llamamos la atención sobre los efectos secundarios tardíos de este quimioterápico que, debido a la mayor supervivencia del cáncer, vamos a observar con mayor frecuencia cada vez, por lo que los médicos de familia deben conocer y sospecharlos. Abstract: We present the case of a 72-year-old woman with a history of diffuse Hodgkin’s lymphoma 5 years ago, treated with anthracyclines with complete remission of the disease, who underwent control echocardiograms during 2 years without any cardiac abnormalities. She consults for dyspnea and nocturia. In view of these symptoms and the history of anthracycline use, she was referred to the cardiology department where tests showed dilated cardiomyopathy with markedly decreased ejection fraction. Attention should be drawn to the late side effects of this chemotherapy which, due to increased survival of cancer patients, will appear more frequently and should therefore be known and suspected by general practitioners.
