Presentation Description / Summary: Doxorubicin is one of the most commonly used chemotherapies in veterinary medicine. It is effective when used in protocols and as a single agent against several different tumor types. Technicians administering doxorubicin are trained in preparation, administration, and side effects, including cardiotoxicity. To fully understand the cardiotoxic effects, one must learn the mechanisms by which doxorubicin causes them. All of this starts with understanding the heart’s normal function and how the damage affects it.

Learning Objectives:

  • • Attendees will learn the mechanism of action of doxorubicin
  • • Attendees will learn the normal function of the heart
  • • Attendees will learn the mechanism of action of the cardiotoxicity and how it changes the heart function
