Heart Failure intervention (Cardio-Oncology Disease Management Plan (CO-DMP)Usual care
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.
Usual care: provided by participants' usual healthcare professional(s)
Study 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.
