The authors report a case of fatal Daunorubicin cardiotoxicity on initial phase of therapy for Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia at cumulative doses (225 mg/mq) considered still safe from the current literature. Despite the interruption of therapy and the interventions performed in support of cardiac functionality the patient came to exitus for heart failure 24 hours after the symptoms onset. This example represents a further confirmation of the utility of a steady monitoring with specific tests for the patients undergoing Daunorubicin therapy.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
