Abstract Background Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC), a condition associated with multiple mechanisms of damage, including oxidative stress, has been poor clinical outcomes. Carvedilol, β-blocker unique antioxidant properties, emerged as strategy to prevent AIC, but recent trials question its effectiveness. Some evidence suggests that the antioxidant, not effect, could related cardiotoxicity. However, carvedilol’s effects are probably enough manifestations in certain cases. We...
