Description
Allegra Battistoni and colleagues examine in 2026 how often women with breast cancer already show signs of a stiff-heart form of heart failure before cancer treatment begins. This form, HFpEF, keeps the heart's pumping fraction normal while filling suffers, and toxic cancer therapies can worsen it. The team scored 145 women at a baseline cardio-oncology visit with three validated probability tools, then rescored 89 of them about a year later.
Depending on the tool, between 14.8 and 41.5 percent of women landed in the middle-to-high probability band at baseline. The three scores agreed poorly with one another, especially a European tool against the other two. Scores barely moved over the year of follow-up. The authors warn the tools are not interchangeable here.
