New Tool Predicts Heart Failure Risk in Breast Cancer Survivors
By
Tyler Santora
Summary
Breast cancer treatments can increase the risk of heart issues, and researchers have developed a new tool to predict which survivors are most likely to develop heart failure within 10 years of treatment. The tool helps survivors determine whether they should see a cardiologist for heart health monitoring. While most breast cancer survivors will not develop heart failure, measuring risk factors is an important part of preventative care, according to cardio-oncologist Dr. Ana Barac.
