Nursing Roles in Cardiac Safety: Romidepsin in Patients With T-Cell Lymphoma.

CONCLUSIONS: Data support the cardiac safety of romidepsin while cautioning about the need for nurses' vigilance regarding consistent electrolyte supplementation, appropriate antiemetic selection, and heart rate monitoring. 
. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: By recognizing drug-related and non-drug-related influences on cardiac safety during treatment with romidepsin, as well as other anticancer agents, nurses can identify risks, report them, and recommend appropriate interventions, which, ultimately, facilitates improved patient outcomes.
