Cardiovascular disease is an increasing risk of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients, related to an growing number of aging survivors with pre-existing cardiovascular disease and the use of traditional and novel cancer therapies with cardiotoxic effects. While many cardiac complications are chronic processes that develop over time, there are many acute processes that may arise in hospitalized patients. It is important for hospitalists and critical care physicians to be familiar with the recognition and management of these conditions in this unique population. This article reviews the presentation and management of common cardiac urgencies in critically ill cancer patients including acute decompensated heart failure, acute coronary syndromes, arrhythmias, hypertensive crises, pulmonary embolism, pericardial tamponade and myocarditis.
