HF is increased in adult cancer survivors, associated with cardiotoxic cancer therapy and standard risk factors. However, the small absolute risk difference between survivors and controls suggests that universal screening of survivors is unjustifiable. A risk model based on age, cardiotoxic cancer therapy and standard risk factors may facilitate a selective screening process in this at-risk population.
