With Dimitrios Fotiadis and Katerina Naka, University of Ioannina, Ioannina - Greece

In this CARDIOCARE podcast episode, Dimitrios Fotiadis speaks with cardiologist Katerina Naka about cardiotoxicity in elderly breast cancer patients and how multi-source information can transform early detection.

They discuss how clinical data, biomarkers, wearables, psychological assessments, and lifestyle indicators come together to give clinicians a complete view of patient health, enabling faster interventions and more personalised care.

With Antonis Sakellarios, University Hospital of Patras, Rio-Patras - Greece and Evangelos Andreakos, Academy of Athens Biomedical Research Foundation, Athens - Greece.

In this episode, Antonis Sakellarios speaks with Evangelos Andreakos, exploring the growing scientific and clinical evidence that cardiovascular disease (CVD) and depression are deeply intertwined, not isolated conditions. The conversation underlines why treating these conditions in isolation may limit patient outcomes and introduces innovative approaches, such as integrated risk stratification tools that support both cardiovascular and mental health care.

In this episode, Antonis Sakellarios speaks with Evangelos Andreakos, presenting the key outputs and breakthroughs of the TO_AITION project and highlighting how research on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and depression comorbidities is being translated into practical tools and strategies.

The conversation emphasises the development of innovative platforms for identifying individuals at risk of both CVD and depression, as well as collaborative disease network analyses and experimental models that reveal shared biological pathways linking the heart and brain.

Antonis Sakellarios and Evangelos Andreakos also underscore how these findings support evidence-based, holistic approaches to patient care, demonstratinga how integrated, multidisciplinary strategies can improve long-term health.
