After watching this webinar, participants will be able to:

• define common cardiovascular toxicity of cancer and its therapies;
• detail and summarise definitions of cardiovascular toxicities encountered during and after cancer therapy; and
• assess baseline cardiovascular toxicity risk of common therapies

Needs assessments:

• To fulfill an urgent need to align cardiology practices with new cardio-oncology guidelines, which will provide a skillset allowing assessment of cardiovascular toxicity risk from common cancer therapies prior to initiation of therapy.

Among other desired outcomes of the webinar:

• adoption and utilisation of consensus definitions in clinical practice and research publications, thereby reducing variation and increasing direct comparability of patient care/study results; and 
• survey results of practicing oncologists/hematologists and cardio-oncologists about how they define cardiovascular toxicity and the application of a consensus definition over time.
