Heart failure & cardiomyopathies
Patient Mortality Following New-Onset Heart Failure Stratified by Cancer Type and Status
Authors' conclusion
Standardized 1-year all-cause mortality was comparable for patients with history of cancer and non-active cancer regardless of cancer type, but varied comprehensively for active cancers. Prognostic impact of age was limited for active lung cancer.
