Study Details

Study Description

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 >65 years old with chemotherapy >10 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.

  • Other: Usual care
N/A

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 12 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.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Heart failure intervention ( Cardio-Oncology Disease Management Plan (CO-DMP)

Optimization of pharmacotherapy: Cardioprotection with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi, Ramipril) and beta blocker (Metoprolol).Participants will be initially treated with ramipril at a dose of 1.25 or 2.5mg (according to baseline systemic arterial pressure), once or twice a day, and gradually up-titrated to 10mg/day, or to the maximal-tolerated dose. In patients receiving at least 2.5mg/day of ramipril, metoprolol will be started at an initial dose of 50 (25mg twice a day) and progressively up-titrated to the maximal dose of 100mg/day. Patients will be reviewed every 2 weeks during the up titration phase. Exercise intervention: Individualized training program provided by an exercise physiologist.

Other: Heart Failure intervention (Cardio-Oncology Disease Management Plan (CO-DMP)
A clinical review to ensure optimal risk factor control and cardioprotection along with exercise intervention.

Active Comparator: Usual care

Provided by participants' usual healthcare professional(s), guided by a brochure regarding optimal risk factor management addressing hypertension, lipids, alcohol intake and tobacco use.
