Why the study?
Does chronic heart failure increase the incidence of cancer and worsen prognosis?
Does chronic heart failure increase the incidence of cancer and worsen prognosis?
Chronic heart failure is associated with an increased long-term risk of developing cancer and a worse prognosis if cancer occurs.
HF may warrant closer cancer monitoring; extends observational links to long-term risk but leaves causality and screening open.
Patients with HF have an increased risk of cancer, which persists after the first year after the diagnosis of HF, and their prognosis is worse compared with that of cancer patients without HF.
