Cardio-Oncology at Capital
Health
Here to support your heart through
cancer treatment.
For those dealing with a cancer diagnosis, treatment is a necessary and crucial step towards recovery. But, unfortunately, the nature of some treatments can occasionally put extra stress on the heart of the patient, leading to an elevated lifetime risk for heart disease among cancer survivors.
That’s what our Cardio-Oncology Program is here for.
At Capital Health, our Cardio-Oncology Program bridges the gap between heart health and cancer care, offering dedicated support to our patients so they can safely undergo life-saving treatments without compromising their cardiac well-being.
Led by Dr. Pirouz Parang, our specialized on-site Cardio-Oncologist, we focus on the prevention, detection, and management of heart complications caused by cancer therapies.
From long-established treatments like chemotherapy and radiation to cutting-edge innovations, some forms of cancer therapy can carry a risk of cardiac toxicity. To address this, our team identifies patients who may be at higher risk using personalized monitoring protocols and management strategies to better protect your heart health while prioritizing cancer treatment.
To put it simply: Our care doesn’t stop when treatment ends.
Our program fosters close collaboration between cardio-oncologists and the oncology team, including medical oncologists, surgeons, and radiation oncologists. We monitor cardiac health during survivorship, addressing new or existing heart conditions and mitigating risk factors to promote lasting well-being. This allows us to deliver an integrated approach, balancing effective cancer treatment with essential cardiac care.
With Capital Health’s Cardio-Oncology Program, you’ll gain access to innovative, compassionate care dedicated to your health. Together, we take every step to not only beat cancer but to keep your heart strong for years to come.
