COVID-19 in Cardio-Oncology
Guest: Joerg Herrmann, M.D. (@mayocvonc)
Host: Malcolm R. Bell, M.D.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), heart disease and cancerous tumors were the top three causes of death in the U.S. in 2020. Providers recognized early in the COVID-19 pandemic that patients with underlying cardiovascular disease or cardiovascular risk factors were at the highest risk of developing a severe course and even dying of COVID-19. Patients with cancer also had a higher risk of severe and fatal outcomes.
Joining us today to discuss COVID-19, heart disease and oncology treatment of tumors is Joerg Herrmann, M.D., director of the Cardio-Oncology Clinic at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Specific topics discussed:
- Relationship between heart disease, cancerous tumors and COVID-19
- Research in the connection between cardiac disease and an underlying tumor or the result of treatment of a tumor
- Changes to patient care during the pandemic
- Remote monitoring of patients and innovative artificial intelligence applications
- Cardio-oncology lessons learned
