evolution natriuretic peptide concentrations of b-type (bnp) during general anesthesia under propofol and sevoflurane association in patients previously sensitized to anthracyclines

Conditions: Breast Cancer

Summary: the cardiotoxicity of anthracyclines chemotherapy remains a major problem, despite clinical and echocardiographic monitoring. in the case of treatment for breast cancer, surgery requiring general anesthesia may follow chemotherapy. although a possible interaction between general anesthetics and anthracyclines on systolic function is only rarely mentioned, some cases of heart failure and / or conduction disturbances peranesthésique were observed in patients treated or previously treated with anthracyclines. the determination of concentration of bnp is a diagnostic tool used in the detection of heart failure and acute coronary syndromes. the question of a possible synergism between cardiotoxic anthracyclines and anesthetic agents arises. given its minimally invasive nature and its diagnostic value, the bnp assay might thus allow to highlight a possible subclinical deficiency. to our knowledge, there is very little data regarding a possible synergism between cardiotoxic anthracyclines and anesthetic agents.
