Abstract
Background: Adult cancer survivors are at increased risk of heart failure (HF) due to standard risk factors and cancer treatment-related cardiac dysfunction. However, the prevalence and treatment of subclinical/stage B heart failure (SBHF) in this population are not well defined.
Objectives: The REDEEM (Risk-guided Disease managEment plan to prevEnt heart failure in patients treated with previous cardiotoxic cancer treatMents) trial will evaluate HF screening and targeted intervention in long-term cancer survivors.
Methods: Survivors ≥40 years old, ≥5 years post potentially-cardiotoxic therapy, and with ≥1 HF risk factor were screened by echocardiography for SBHF (abnormal global longitudinal shortening [GLS], left ventricular hypertrophy [LVH], diastolic dysfunction or abnormal 3-dimensional left ventricular ejection fraction [3D-LVEF]). Those with SBHF were randomized to multi-disciplinary cardio-oncology disease management plan (CO-DMP), including neurohormonal blockade, exercise training and risk factor optimization, or usual care. The primary endpoint is change in cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak) over 6 months.
Results: Of 1,124 survivors screened, 604 underwent echocardiography, and 145 (24%) had SBHF (age 68±18 years; 81% women). Of those eligible for randomization, 64% had breast cancer and 35% had hematological malignancy. Although baseline 3D-LVEF was preserved (52.8±6.8%), subclinical LV dysfunction was common (GLS 15.6±2.1%) and 39% had evidence of functional impairment (VO2peak≤18ml/kg/min-1). Abnormal GLS was associated with age, BMI, diabetes and anthracycline exposure, whereas functional impairment was only associated with age. Abnormal GLS and functional impairment were not significantly associated (OR 0.90 [95% CI 0.72-1.11], p=0.360).
Conclusions: Risk-based screening can identify a high-risk subpopulation of cancer survivors with SBHF.
期刊介绍:
The American Heart Journal will consider for publication suitable articles on topics pertaining to the broad discipline of cardiovascular disease. Our goal is to provide the reader primary investigation, scholarly review, and opinion concerning the practice of cardiovascular medicine. We especially encourage submission of 3 types of reports that are not frequently seen in cardiovascular journals: negative clinical studies, reports on study designs, and studies involving the organization of medical care. The Journal does not accept individual case reports or original articles involving bench laboratory or animal research.
