Cyclophosphamide, Bortezomib, and Dexamethasone and Severe Systolic Heart Failure: A Case Report.
Curēus 2024 March
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a neoplastic proliferation of plasma cells in bone marrow. Pharmacotherapy for the management of patients with MM includes drug classes like proteasome inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, immunomodulators, alkylating agents, steroids, etc. We present a case of new-onset heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in a patient with previously normal ejection fraction after treatment with a cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (CyBorD) chemotherapeutic regimen. An echocardiogram done after the completion of nine cycles of chemotherapy in a period of about 4.5 months showed severely decreased left ventricular systolic function with an ejection fraction of only 15-20% and grade I diastolic dysfunction. Cardiac catheterization showed no angiographic evidence of vessel occlusion or epicardial disease. HFrEF was managed with the initiation of guideline-directed medical therapy with cardiology clinic follow-up, and the patient was discharged with a plan to start a lenalidomide-based chemotherapeutic regimen with oncology clinic follow-up. It is, therefore, imperative to perform a thorough cardiovascular assessment before initiation of chemotherapy, complemented by periodic and recurrent assessments of cardiovascular function during and after completion of the treatment course, for early detection and prevention of potentially severe cardiovascular toxicities in patients with MM.
