CATCH-HF: Cardiotoxicity Assessment Through Comprehensive Heart Imaging to Predict Heart Failure
Anthracycline chemotherapies (e.g. doxorubicin, daunorubicin) are commonly given to treat pediatric cancer, and carry a risk of cardiotoxicity. Over the long term, children who receive these therapies have an increased risk of heart failure and early cardiovascular death. However, current strategies for identifying patients who are at risk prior to the development of significant changes in heart function are limited. This study will focus on imaging markers of cardiac injury and dysfunction with the goal of developing improved diagnostic tests and treatment strategies.
• English and Spanish speaking male and female subjects, ages 13-39 years old
• Diagnosis of cancer at age \<22 years
• Previously treated with anthracyline therapy for cancer, with diagnosis at least two years prior.
