Well, this is something you have to ask your doctor. I can pretty much say that it Has the fewest side effects of the four drugs that people take. So it would be the most likely drug to use.
If you’ve got an advanced case of prostate cancer, you need to be on something and Darolutamide would probably be the best for his heart, because it has the fewest side effects. That doesn’t mean it Has no side effects, Some people do have problems with it.
This sounds like it would be a complex judgement call for the patient and the medical team to make together. I understand wanting to know, but I doubt that even an oncologist or cardiologist could give a simple answer to that in an anonymous public forum.
My totally-amateur hunch is that Darolutamide would be easier on the heart than Abiraterone, since you don't have to take a steroid with it, but I could be completely wrong.
Best of luck with your treatment, whatever you choose.
