Cardio-Hematology

Cardio-Hematology is an emerging interdisciplinary field that focuses on the interaction between cardiovascular diseases and hematologic disorders. It addresses how abnormalities in blood components—such as coagulation factors, platelets, and red blood cells—affect cardiac function and vascular health. The field also covers cardiovascular complications arising from hematologic conditions and their treatments, including thrombosis, anemia-related cardiac stress, bleeding disorders, and the cardiovascular effects of anticoagulant and antineoplastic therapies. Cardio-hematology plays a crucial role in improving diagnosis, risk stratification, and integrated management strategies for patients with overlapping cardiac and hematologic disorders.
