    European Heart Journal: Study reveals how high blood pressure increases susceptibility to heart damage caused by a key cancer treatment

    A CNIC research team has identified for the first time the biological mechanism underlying this susceptibility: high blood pressure creates a hidden metabolic vulnerability in the heart that becomes destabilized when anthracyclines are administered.
