Lourdes Health Talk

Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the United States, right behind heart disease. While new therapies are helping more people survive cancer, they also can cause heart problems.A new medical specialty called cardio-oncology is working to solve this dilemma. At Lourdes, cardiologists work closely with oncologists to help prevent heart disease in people before, during and after cancer therapy.Dr. Jay Rubenstone discusses the very specialized field of cardio-oncology and how to keep your heart healthy while you are going through cancer treatments.
