New prospects for the management of cardiovascular effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia

The use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia has significantly altered the prognosis of this disease, enabling close to normal life expectancy.Despite their undeniable benefits, the use of TKIs is associated with an increased risk of side effects on the...
