Introdução: Trastuzumabe é um anticorpo monoclonal humanizado precursor de inibidores HER-2 positivos. A cardiotoxicidade é uma das reações adversas mais importantes do ponto de vista clínico, associada ao uso de trastuzumabe. Estudos mostram que 12,6% dos pacientes tratados com o inibidor de HER-2 apresentaram cardiotoxicidade. Objetivo: Identificar a presença de cardiotoxicidade induzida por trastuzumabe em pacientes com câncer de mama HER-2 positivo. Método: O estudo foi transversal e retrospectivo, realizado em um hospital filantrópico oncológico da cidade de Salvador, Bahia, Brasil. Os dados foram coletados por meio de prontuários eletrônicos. Foram incluídos no estudo pacientes com diagnóstico de câncer de mama HER-2 positivo, do sexo feminino, maiores de 18 anos, que utilizaram trastuzumabe no período de setembro a dezembro de 2020. As variáveis analisadas foram: idade, comorbidade, combinação de quimioterapia (monoterapia, associada) e tipo de terapia (adjuvante, neoadjuvante). Resultados: 159 pacientes foram incluídas no estudo. 10 (6%) deles apresentaram cardiotoxicidade durante o tratamento, a maioria com idade entre 40-59 anos (70%). Quanto às comorbidades, 6 (60%) pacientes eram hipertensos. 7 dos pacientes (70%) estavam em monoterapia com trastuzumabe. Todos os pacientes usaram trastuzumabe como tratamento adjuvante. Conclusão: No presente estudo, foi possível identificar a presença de cardiotoxicidade em pacientes que utilizaram trastuzumabe. Assim, é fundamental uma atenção especial ao monitoramento da função cardíaca, bem como ao acompanhamento clínico desses pacientes para identificar, precocemente, os sinais e sintomas apresentados e, assim, prevenir possíveis danos. Em pesquisas futuras, novos parâmetros de monitoramento devem ser estudados para identificar precocemente a cardiotoxicidade induzida pelo trastuzumabe.
