Haematology 2018
Conclusions HF ca-co study • Quantitative estimates of HF risk in 5-year HL survivors following RT: – Little increase in HF risk for doses up to 25 Gy MHD or up to 15 Gy MLVD, but HF rates increase rapidly at higher doses. • Anthracyclines: 3-fold increased HF rate, irrespective of the
dose of anthracycline or of cardiac radiation. • Our findings can be used to predict HF risk
➢ Patients who received both anthracyclines + mediastinal RT need to be followed carefully.
