Overview
Brief Summary
This is a prospective study in which a process of identifying and reducing heart failure (HF) risk will be applied to cancer survivors >55 years old with chemotherapy >5 years ago.
The overall goal of this study to identify the feasibility and value of risk-guided cardiac rehabilitation (exercise, risk factor modification, and behavioural support) as a component of survivorship care.
Detailed Description
Participants enrolled in this study will be randomized to cardio-oncology disease management plan ( CO-DMP) that involves the use of surveillance imaging to detect subclinical left ventricular dysfunction (LVD), clinical review to ensure optimal risk factor control and cardio-protection and exercise/sedentariness intervention. The intervention will be delivered over a period of 6 months. Usual care patients will then cross over the CO-DMP for 6 months. The outcome from this study will show that subclinical LVD is more common among long term cancer survivors, and a CO-DMP is feasible in reducing HF risk factors in this sub group of survivors.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •History of cancer \> 10 years ago
- •Have received potentially toxic chemotherapy Anthracycline (any dose) Trastuzumab (Herceptin) in breast-cancer with the HER2 mutation OR Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (e.g. sunitinib) OR Left chest radiotherapy
Exclusion Criteria
- •Ejection fraction at baseline echo \<50%
