Increased Afterload Augments Sunitinib-Induced Cardiotoxicity in an Engineered Cardiac Microtissue Model

Summary: Sunitinib, a multitargeted oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor, used widely to treat solid tumors, results in hypertension in up to 47% and left ventricular dysfunction in up to 19% of treated individuals. The relative contribution of afterload toward inducing cardiac dysfunction with sunitinib...
