Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The primary objective is to evaluate in terms of sensitivity, specificity and predictive value a panel of cardiac biomarkers for the early detection of an increase in cardiac symptoms for HL and (selected) NHL long-term survivors. The panel of biomarkers will be compared to an evaluation including clinical assessment, ECG, heart US and PROMs.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
– To describe the early symptoms of long-term cardiac toxicity induced by radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy for HL and NHL patients.<br>– Develop a screening tool for the early detection of cardiac toxicity including biomarkers, imaging tests and PROMs.<br>– Difference in score of the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12) and the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ-7).<br>– To evaluate the value of cardiac MRI as an objective diagnostic tool for mediastinal radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy induced cardiac toxicities.<br>– To evaluate the dose effect relationship between the detected increase in cardiac symptoms and various late severe cardiac toxicities.<br>- Evaluation of the radiation with/without anthracycline dose effect relationship, and the impact of other factors of risk (age at treatment, gender, body mass index (BMI), hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, and tobacco use).
