Abstract
AIMS A higher risk of cancer among patients with heart failure (HF) has been suggested in recent community-based studies. This study aimed to investigate the impact of HF during hospitalization with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) on the long-term cancer risk. METHODS AND RESULTS The study included 572 patients admitted with ACS to three Italian hospitals, discharged cancer-free, and prospectively followed for 24 years or until death. All but three patients completed the follow-up, which represented 6440 person-years (mean age: 66 ± 12 years; 70% males). Baseline HF was diagnosed in 192 (34%) patients. A total of 129 (23%) patients developed cancer (103 without HF and 26 with HF), and 107 (19%) patients died due to it (81 without HF and 26 with HF). The incidence rates for cancer onset and cancer death were not different according to HF status. Cox regression analysis revealed no association between HF or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and cancer risk. In addition, no difference in cancer risk was observed among patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction, HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction, and HF with reduced ejection fraction. In competing risk regression analysis, the risk of cancer onset associated with HF was sub-hazard ratio (SHR) 0.47 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.30-0.72; P = 0.001] and SHR 1.02 (95% CI: 1.01-1.04; P = 0.002) with LVEF. Results were the same in the adjusted model. Yet the fully adjusted model showed an attenuated association between cancer death and HF (SHR: 0.63; 95% CI: 0.37-1.05; P = 0.08) and LVEF (SHR: 1.02; 95% CI: 0.99-1.06; P = 0.08). Consistent results were obtained after using propensity score matching analysis that created 192 pairs. A negative interaction between age and HF and a positive interaction between age and LVEF for cancer risk have also been found. CONCLUSIONS An inverse association between baseline HF and long-term cancer risk has been observed among the ABC Study on heart disease patients who were followed for 24 years after ACS.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally, and these conditions are increasingly recognized to be fundamentally interconnected. In this Review, we present the current epidemiological data for each of the modifiable risk factors shared by the two diseases, including hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes mellitus, obesity, smoking, diet, physical activity and the social determinants of health. We then review the epidemiological data demonstrating the increased risk of CVD in patients with cancer, as well as the increased risk of cancer in patients with CVD. We also discuss the shared mechanisms implicated in the development of these conditions, highlighting their inherent bidirectional relationship. We conclude with a perspective on future research directions for the field of cardio-oncology to advance the care of patients with CVD and cancer.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) patients have a significantly higher risk of new-onset cancer and cancer-associated mortality, compared to subjects free of HF. While both the prevention and treatment of new-onset HF in patients with cancer have been investigated extensively, less is known about the prevention and treatment of new-onset cancer in patients with HF, and whether and how guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for HF should be modified when cancer is diagnosed in HF patients. The purpose of this review is to elaborate and discuss the effects of pillar HF pharmacotherapies, as well as digoxin and diuretics on cancer, and to identify areas for further research and novel therapeutic strategies. To this end, in this review, (i) proposed effects and mechanisms of action of guideline-directed HF drugs on cancer derived from pre-clinical data will be described, (ii) the evidence from both observational studies and randomized controlled trials on the effects of guideline-directed medical therapy on cancer incidence and cancer-related outcomes, as synthetized by meta-analyses will be reviewed, and (iii) considerations for future pre-clinical and clinical investigations will be provided.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and cancer are some of the most recognized causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in heart failure (HF) populations. Recent studies have hypothesized that HF might promote the development and progression of cancer. We aim to analyze and discuss the most recent evidence on the relationship between HF and cancer development. METHODS From inception to November 2022, we searched PubMed, Web of Science and ClinicalTrials.gov for relevant articles on patients with HF and a subsequent cancer diagnosis that reported outcomes of overall and site-specific cancer incidence, or mortality. RESULTS Of 2401 articles identified in our original search, 13 articles met our criteria. Studies reporting risk rate estimates were summarized qualitatively. Studies reporting hazard ratios (HRs), or relative risks were combined in a meta-analysis and revealed that HF was associated with an increased overall cancer incidence with a HR=1.30 (95% CI: 1.04-1.62) compared with individuals without HF. Subgroup analyses by cancer type revealed increased risk for lung cancer (HR=1.87; 95% CI: 1.28-2.73), gastrointestinal cancer (HR=1.22; 95% CI: 1.03-1.45), hematologic cancer (HR=1.60; 95% CI: 1.23-2.08) and female reproductive cancer (HR=1.67; 95% CI: 1.27-2.21). Mortality from cancer was higher in HF patients compared with non-HF subjects with a HR=2.17 (95% CI: 1.23-3.84). CONCLUSIONS Our systematic review and meta-analysis revealed that HF may result in a subsequent increase in cancer incidence as well as in cancer-related mortality. The most common cancer subtypes in HF patients were lung, female reproductive system, and hematologic cancers. Further research is needed to understand this association better and to provide the best cardiological and oncological care.

Abstract
Several large cohort studies in cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients have shown an increased incidence of cancer. Previous studies in a myocardial infarction (MI) mouse model reported increased colon, breast, and lung cancer growth. The potential mechanisms could be due to secreted cardiokines and micro-RNAs from pathological hearts and immune cell reprogramming. A study in a MI-induced heart failure (HF) mouse demonstrated an increase in cardiac expression of SerpinA3, resulting in an enhanced proliferation of colon cancer cells. In MI-induced HF mice with lung cancer, the attenuation of tumor sensitivity to ferroptosis via the secretion of miR-22-3p from cardiomyocytes was demonstrated. In MI mice with breast cancer, immune cell reprogramming toward the immunosuppressive state was shown. However, a study in mice with renal cancer reported no impact of MI on tumor growth. In addition to MI, cardiac hypertrophy was shown to promote the growth of breast and lung cancer. The cardiokine potentially involved, periostin, was increased in the cardiac tissue and serum of a cardiac hypertrophy model, and was reported to increase breast cancer cell proliferation. Since the concept that CVD could influence the initiation and progression of several types of cancer is quite new and challenging regarding future therapeutic and preventive strategies, further studies are needed to elucidate the potential underlying mechanisms which will enable more effective risk stratification and development of potential therapeutic interventions to prevent cancer in CVD patients.

Abstract
Epidemiological evidence of increased risks of cancer in heart failure (HF) patients and HF in cancer patients has suggested close relationships between the pathogenesis of both diseases. Indeed, HF and cancer share common risk factors, including aging and unhealthy lifestyles, and underlying mechanisms, including activation of the sympathetic nervous system and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, chronic inflammation, and clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential. Mechanistically, HF accelerates cancer development and progression via secreted factors, so-called cardiokines, and epigenetic remodeling of bone marrow cells into an immunosuppressive phenotype. Reciprocally, cancer promotes HF via cachexia-related wasting and metabolic remodeling in the heart, and possibly via cancer-derived extracellular vesicles influencing myocardial structure and function. The novel concept of the "heart-cancer axis" will help in our understanding of the shared and reciprocal relationships between HF and cancer, and provide innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for both diseases.

Abstract
Aims The association between heart failure (HF) patients and the incidence of cancer is not well understood, with conflicting results to date. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate whether patients with HF have a higher risk of developing cancer. Methods and results We performed a systematic literature search using PubMed, Embase, and Scopus for relevant articles from inception until 10 December 2022. The primary clinical outcome was the incidence of cancer. Secondary endpoints were the incidence of breast cancer, lung cancer, haematological cancer, colorectal cancer, and prostate cancer. A total of 9 articles with 7 329 706 (515 041 HF vs. 6 814 665 non-HF) patients were involved in the analysis. The mean age of the patients in the HF and the non-HF groups was 69.06 and 66.76 years. The median follow-up duration was 6.7 years. The most common comorbidity among both groups includes diabetes mellitus (27.58 vs. 14.49%) and hypertension (81.46 vs. 57.38%). Patients with HF were associated with a significant increase in the incidence of cancer {hazard ratio [HR], 1.43 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.21-1.68], P < 0.001}, breast cancer [HR, 1.28 (95% CI: 1.09-1.50), P < 0.001], lung cancer [HR, 1.89 (95% CI: 1.25-2.85), P < 0.001], haematological cancer [HR, 1.63 (95% CI: 1.15-2.33), P = 0.01], and colorectal cancer [HR, 1.32 (95% CI: 1.11-1.57), P < 0.001] compared with patients without HF. However, the incidence of prostate cancer was comparable between both groups [HR, 0.97 (95% CI: 0.66-1.43), P = 0.88]. Conclusion This meta-analysis confirms that the state of HF is associated with a higher risk for incident cancer. These data may aid in raising awareness with physicians that cancer may develop in patients with prevalent heart failure and that early screening and evaluation may be useful in an early diagnosis of cancer.

Abstract
AimsChronic kidney disease (CKD) pre-heart transplantation (HTx) has been proposed as a risk factor for malignancy risk post-HTx. Using multicenter registry data, our aim was to calculate the death-adjusted annual incidence of malignancies post-HTx, corroborate the association between CKD pre-HTx and malignancy risk post-HTx, and determine other risk factors for post-HTx malignancies.Methods and materialsWe used data from patients transplanted in North American HTx centers between January 2000 and June 2017 and registered in the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation Thoracic Organ Transplant Registry. We excluded recipients with missing data on post-HTx malignancies, heterotopic heart transplant, retransplantation, multi-organ transplantation, and patients with a total artificial heart pre-HTx.ResultsOverall, 34,873 patients were included to determine the annual incidence of malignancies, 33,345 patients were included in the risk analyses. The incidence of any malignancy, solid-organ malignancy, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD), and skin cancer adjusted for death 15 years post-HTx, was 26.6%, 10.9%, 3.6%, and 15.8% respectively. Besides widely acknowledged risk factors, CKD stage ≥4 pre-HTx was associated with the development of all malignancies post-HTx (HR 1.17 compared to CKD stage 1, p = 0.023), as well as solid-organ malignancies (HR 1.35, p = 0.01), but not for PTLD (HR 0.73, p = 0.057), and skin cancer (HR 1.06, p = 0.59).ConclusionRisk of malignancy post-HTx remains high. CKD stages ≥4 pre-HTx was associated with an increased risk for any malignancy and solid-organ malignancy post-HTx. Strategies to mitigate the impact of pre-HTx patient factors on the risk of post-HTx malignancy are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several cohort studies aimed at demonstrating an increased risk of cancer incidence and mortality in patients with a pre-existing diagnosis of heart failure (HF); however, conflicting results have been reported that call for systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS We conducted a systematic search of multiple databases from their inception through July 2022 and retrieved only papers reporting hazard ratios (HR). Random and fixed-effects models were fit for the study duration. RESULTS The analysis included nine cohort studies for a total of 515'041 HF cases and 1'365'452 controls without HF. Although high heterogeneity among studies was observed, the HR for incident cancer in HF patients was statistically significant (1.45, 95% CI 1.31-1.61, p < 0.0001), which was confirmed by sensitivity analyses; however, by analyzing the few papers reporting HRs for cancer mortality, no significant difference between HF and non-HF patients could be detected (HR 2.03, 95% CI [0.93-4.43], p = 0.0736). Further scrutiny of studies with adjusted HRs, when available, confirmed that cancer incidence was significantly increased in patients with HF, as was cancer mortality as well. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis shows that HF patients are at an increased risk of incident cancer. Increased mortality could not be firmly demonstrated by the available data. Our results call for inclusion of cancer-related endpoints in HF trials to adequately address this important clinical issue.

Abstract
Heart Failure (HF) is a multi-faceted and life-threatening syndrome characterized by significant morbidity and mortality, poor functional capacity and quality of life, and high costs. HF affects more than 64 million people worldwide. Therefore, attempts to decrease its social and economic burden have become a major global public health priority. While the incidence of HF has stabilized and seems to be declining in industrialized countries, the prevalence is increasing due to the ageing of the population, improved treatment of and survival with ischaemic heart disease, and the availability of effective evidence-based therapies prolonging life in patients with HF. There are geographical variations in HF epidemiology. There is substantial lack of data from developing countries, where HF exhibits different features compared with that observed in the Western world. In this review, we provide a contemporary overview on the global burden of HF, providing updated estimates on prevalence, incidence, outcomes, and costs worldwide.

Abstract
Purpose Previous studies have suggested a link between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the subsequent development of lung cancer. However, empirical evidence on the association of CVDs, particularly type-specific CVDs, with lung cancer incidence and survival remains limited. Methods The cohort study included 306,285 patients with CVD and 1,222,140 individuals without CVD. We performed stratified Cox regression to estimate the hazard ratio (HR). Results During up to 42 years of follow-up, 243 (0.08%) and 537 (0.04%) participants were diagnosed with lung cancer among CVD patients and matched individuals, respectively. Patients with CVD had a 67% increased risk of lung cancer (HR: 1.67, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.42–1.96). The increased risks were observed in patients with heart disease (1.93, 1.30–2.85), vascular disease (1.88, 1.35–2.61), and hypertensive disease (1.46, 1.15–1.85), respectively. Patients with CVD had a 95% increased risk of lung cancer mortality (1.95, 1.50–2.55), particularly vascular disease (3.24, 1.74–6.02) and heart disease (2.29, 1.23–4.26). Patients with CVD diagnosed in middle adulthood (>40 years old) tended to have a higher incidence risk (3.44, 2.28–5.19) and mortality (3.67, 1.80–7.46) than those diagnosed at younger ages. Conclusions Our findings on the association of CVD diagnosis, especially heart and vascular disease, with increased risk of lung cancer incidence and mortality suggest that CVD contributes to the development and worsening of lung cancer survival. In particular, people with CVD diagnosed in middle adulthood (>40 years old) would benefit from early preventive evaluation and screening for lung cancer.

Abstract
Introduction The risk of inflammatory bowel disease-associated colorectal cancer (IBD-CRC) is known to increase with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and a family history of CRC. However, the impact of comorbidities such as liver disease, obesity, diabetes, chronic lung, heart, and renal disease, and psychiatric illness on the risk of IBD-CRC remains unclear. We evaluated the effect of these comorbidities on the risk of IBD-CRC. Methods A retrospective review from 2009 to 2014 was conducted using the National Inpatient Sample data for adults 18 years and older. Patients with IBD (360,892), of whom 2,831 had CRC were identified using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes (ICD-9). Data on comorbidities were also obtained. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and confidence intervals (CI) were computed via logistic regression to evaluate the effect of comorbidities on the risk of IBD-CRC; the p-value was set at <0.05. Results The mean age of IBD patients in this study was 52.36±0.03. A majority of the patients with IBD-CRC were white and were significantly older compared to those without cancer (60 vs 52 years, p<0.05). The risk of colon cancer in IBD was increased by having a non-cholestatic liver disease (aOR 1.51, CI 1.23-1.86, p<0.01). Also, patients younger than 50 years with liver disease were at an increased risk of IBD-associated colon cancer in comparison to older patients (aOR 1.83 vs 1.34, p<0.05). Notably, diabetes, chronic pulmonary disease, renal failure, psychiatric illnesses, and rheumatoid diseases, were inversely associated with the risk of IBD-CRC (p<0.05). After stratifying by IBD subtypes, non-cholestatic liver disease was still independently associated with a higher risk for colon cancer in patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease (ulcerative colitis: aOR 1.43, CI 1.08-1.89; Crohn's disease: aOR 1.46, CI 1.10-2.00). Conclusions Patients with IBD who have non-cholestatic liver disease might have a higher risk for colon cancer, even at a younger age. These patients may require close colon cancer surveillance.

Abstract
Background Studies assessing whether heart failure (HF) is associated with cancer and cancer-related mortality have yielded conflicting results. Objectives This study assessed cancer incidence and mortality according to pre-existing HF in a community-based cohort. Methods Among individuals ≥50 years of age from the Puglia region in Italy with administrative health data from 2002 to 2018, no cancer within 3 years before the baseline evaluation, and ≥5-year follow-up, the study matched 104,020 subjects with HF at baseline with 104,020 control subjects according to age, sex, drug-derived complexity index, Charlson comorbidity index, and follow-up duration. Cancer incidence and mortality were defined based on International Classification of Diseases-Ninth Revision codes in hospitalization records or death certificates. Results The incidence rate of cancer in HF patients and control subjects was 21.36 (95% CI: 20.98-21.74) and 12.42 (95% CI: 12.14-12.72) per 1000 person-years, respectively, with the HR being 1.76 (95% CI: 1.71-1.81). Cancer mortality was also higher in HF patients than control subjects (HR: 4.11; 95% CI: 3.86-4.38), especially in those <70 years of age (HR: 7.54; 95% CI: 6.33-8.98 vs HR: 3.80; 95% CI: 3.44-4.19 for 70-79 years of age; and HR: 3.10; 95% CI: 2.81-3.43 for ≥80 years of age). The association between HF and cancer mortality was confirmed in a competing risk analysis (subdistribution HR: 3.48; 95% CI: 3.27-3.72). The HF-related excess risk applied to the majority of cancer types. Among HF patients, prescription of high-dose loop diuretic was associated with higher cancer incidence (HR: 1.11; 95% CI: 1.03-1.21) and mortality (HR: 1.35; 95% CI: 1.19-1.53). Conclusions HF is associated with an increased risk of cancer and cancer-related mortality, which may be heightened in decompensated states.

Abstract
Background Increasing incidences of both atrial fibrillation (AF) and cancer have been observed in recent years. However, the casual association of both serious conditions has been scarcely evaluated and is considered to be a blank slate in cardio-oncology. Thus, we introduced Mendelian randomization (MR) methods to estimate the effects of AF on cancer risks. Methods We performed univariable and multivariable two-sample MR analyses to evaluate the effects of AF on the risk of 19 site-specific types of cancer. This MR study was conducted based on 111 independent AF-associated genetic instruments from genome-wide association studies and summarized-level data from corresponding cancer consortia. Multiple sensitivity analyses, including the leave-one-out analysis, MR-Egger regression, and MR-PRESSO tests, were further performed to examine the potential directional pleiotropic effects. Functional annotation was performed for common differentially expressed genes of AF and prostate cancer (PCA). Results A total of 6,777,155 European-descent people, including 533,725 cases and 6,243,430 controls, were included in the present MR analysis. Univariable MR analyses demonstrated a causal effect of AF on the incidence of PCA [odds ratio (OR): 0.96; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.92-0.99, p = 0.01], and the causal effect remained significant (OR: 0.65; 95% CI 0.47-0.90, p = 0.01) after adjusting for potential confounders through the multivariable MR approach. However, no casual associations between AF and the other 18 site-specific cancer risks were observed (all p-values were > 0.05). The consistency of outcomes across complementary sensitivity MR methods further supported the causality. The functional analysis emphasized the essential role of antioxidant and xenobiotic catabolic processes in AF and PCA. Conclusion Contrary to the findings of several previous observational studies, our comprehensive MR analyses did not corroborate a causal role for AF in increasing the risk of various types of cancer. They did, however, demonstrate that AF may decrease the risk of PCA. Studies from larger sample sizes and individuals with different ethnic backgrounds are required to further support our conclusions.

Abstract
Understanding of heart failure (HF) has evolved from a simple hemodynamic problem through a neurohormonally and proinflammatory-driven syndrome to a complex multiorgan dysfunction accompanied by inadequate energy handling. This article discusses the most important clinical aspects of advanced HF pathophysiology. It presents the concept of neurohormonal activation and its deleterious effect on cardiovascular system and reflex control. The current theories regarding the role of inflammation, cytokine activation, and myocardial remodeling in HF progression are presented. Advanced HF is a multiorgan syndrome with interplay between cardiovascular system and other organs. The role of iron deficiency is also discussed.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Oncological treatments are known to induce cardiac toxicity, but the impact of new-onset cancer in patients with pre-existing HF remains unknown. This review focuses on the epidemiology, pathophysiological mechanisms, and clinical implications of HF patients who develop malignancies. RECENT FINDINGS Novel findings suggest that HF and cancer, beside common risk factors, are deeply linked by shared pathophysiological mechanisms. In particular, HF itself may enhance carcinogenesis by producing pro-inflammatory cytokines, and it has been suggested that neurohormonal activation, commonly associated with the failing heart, might play a pivotal role in promoting neoplastic transformation. The risk of malignancies seems to be higher in HF patients compared to the general population, probably due to shared risk factors and common pathophysiological pathways. Additionally, management of these patients represents a challenge for clinicians, considering that the co-existence of these diseases significantly worsens patients' prognosis and negatively affects therapeutic options for both diseases.

Abstract
Recently, several studies have demonstrated that heart failure (HF) may increase the risk of incident cancer. However, this association has not been statistically and systematically verified by any comprehensive pooled analyses. We performed a meta-analysis on cancer morbidity and co-mortality of adults with HF in a large sample size to explore the relationship between HF and the risk of developing cancer. From inception to April 2019, we searched PubMed and EMBASE for published relevant articles on patients with HF diagnosed with cancer afterwards, with reported outcomes of morbidity and mortality. Two investigators independently reviewed these included studies. Study data were independently extracted using predefined data extraction forms. Random and fixed-effects models were fit for the study duration. This analysis consisted of 4 cohort studies comprising 5,004,251 participants. The relative risk (RR) for incident cancer was 1.22 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.13-1.33) indicating that patients with HF may have a higher risk of developing cancer. The pooled RR of co-mortality was 2.03 (95% CI, 1.13-3.65), indicating that HF associated with cancer increases the risk of mortality. In this meta-analysis and systematic review, our results demonstrated that heart failure may increase the risk of incident cancer and that HF associated with cancer increases the risk of mortality.

Abstract
The current global prevalence of heart failure is estimated at 64.34 million cases, and it is expected to increase in the coming years, especially in countries with a medium-low sociodemographic index where the prevalence of risk factors is increasing alarmingly. Heart failure is associated with many comorbidities and among them, cancer has stood out as a contributor of death in these patients. This connection points out new challenges both in the context of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved, as well as in the quality of life of affected individuals. A hallmark of heart failure is chronic activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, especially marked by a systemic increase in levels of angiotensin-II, a peptide with pleiotropic activities. Drugs that target the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system have shown promising results both in the prevention of secondary cardiovascular events in myocardial infarction and heart failure, including a lower risk of certain cancers in these patients, as well as in current cancer therapies; therefore, understanding the mechanisms involved in this complex relationship will provide tools for a better diagnosis and treatment and to improve the prognosis and quality of life of people suffering from these two deadly diseases.

Abstract
AIMS There is conflicting evidence whether heart failure (HF) is a risk factor for incident cancer. Despite population-based cohorts demonstrating this association, an analysis of the Physician's Health Study found no association in a cohort of mostly healthy males. We investigated the association of HF with incident cancer among a large cohort of post-menopausal women. METHODS AND RESULTS A prospective cohort study of 146 817 post-menopausal women age 50 to 79 years enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative from 1993-1998, and followed through 2015. The primary exposure was adjudicated incident HF diagnosis, including preserved and reduced ejection fraction in a sub-cohort. The primary outcome was adjudicated incident total and site-specific cancers. Hazard ratios were calculated using multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazard regression models. Over a median follow-up of 8.4 years, 3272 and 17 474 women developed HF and cancer, respectively. HF developed in 235 women prior to cancer. HF was associated with subsequent incident cancer [hazard ratio (HR) 1.28, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.11-1.48]. Associations were observed for obesity-related cancers (HR 1.24, 95% CI 1.02-1.51), as well as lung and colorectal cancers (HR 1.58, 95% CI 1.09-2.30 and HR 1.52, 95% CI 1.02-2.27, respectively). HF with preserved ejection fraction (HR 1.34, 95% CI 1.06-1.67), but not HF reduced ejection fraction (HR 0.99, 95% CI 0.74-1.34), was associated with total cancer. CONCLUSION Heart failure was associated with an increase in cancer diagnoses in post-menopausal women. This association was strongest for lung cancer. Further research is needed to appreciate the underlying mechanisms responsible for this association.

Roest S, Struijk C, Constantinescu AA, Caliskan K, Plasmeijer EI, Boersma E, Brugts JJ, Manintveld OC. Influence of renal insufficiency pre-heart transplantation on malignancy risk post-heart transplantation. ESC Heart Fail 2021; 8:2172-2182. [PMID: 33779076 PMCID: PMC8120392 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.13309] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2020] [Revised: 01/29/2021] [Accepted: 03/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims Recent reports demonstrated that patients with heart failure (HF) might have an increased risk to develop malignancies. This is also seen in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Immunosuppression in heart transplantation (HT) recipients additionally increases the risk of malignancies. The aim of this study was to determine the relation between HF duration and CKD pre‐HT and the risk of malignancy development post‐HT. Methods and results We included all adult HT recipients transplanted between January 2000 and November 2017 in our centre. Patients were excluded if they died or were retransplanted within 3 months post‐HT. Clinical characteristics were retrospectively collected. Sixty out of 250 patients (24%) developed a malignancy after a median of 66 months [interquartile range 33–108] post‐HT. In multivariable Cox regression analysis, HF duration was not a risk factor for all malignancies or solid organ malignancies post‐HT [hazard ratio (HR) 1.033 (0.974–1.096), P = 0.281 and HR 1.036 (0.958–1.120), P = 0.376, respectively]. Age [HR 1.051 (1.016–1.086), P = 0.004] and CKD pre‐HT [HR 2.173 (1.236–3.822), P = 0.007] were independent risk factors for all malignancies. CKD pre‐HT [HR 2.542 (1.142–5.661), P = 0.022] increased the risk for solid organ malignancies. Exclusion of patients with durable mechanical circulatory support in the analysis did not alter the significance of these risk factors. Conclusions Duration of HF pre‐HT was not associated with malignancy risk post‐HT. CKD was an independent risk factor for malignancies post‐HT. More studies are needed to investigate this association.

Abstract
Background The extent to which co-occurrence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer is due to shared risk factors or other mechanisms is unknown. Objectives This study investigated the association of standard CVD risk factors, CVD biomarkers, pre-existing CVD, and ideal cardiovascular (CV) health metrics with the development of future cancer. Methods This study prospectively followed Framingham Heart Study and PREVEND (Prevention of Renal and Vascular End-Stage Disease) study participants free of cancer at baseline and ascertained histology-proven cancer. This study assessed the association of baseline CV risk factors, 10-year atherosclerotic (ASCVD) risk score, established CVD biomarkers, prevalent CVD, and the American Heart Association (AHA) Life’s Simple 7 CV health score with incident cancer using multivariable Cox models. Analyses of interim CVD events with incident cancer used time-dependent covariates. Results Among 20,305 participants (mean age 50 ± 14 years; 54% women), 2,548 incident cancer cases occurred over a median follow-up of 15.0 years (quartile 1 to 3: 13.3 to 15.0 years). Traditional CVD risk factors, including age, sex, and smoking status, were independently associated with cancer (p < 0.001 for all). Estimated 10-year ASCVD risk was also associated with future cancer (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.16 per 5% increase in risk; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14 to 1.17; p < 0.001). The study found that natriuretic peptides (tertile 3 vs. tertile 1; HR: 1.40; 95% CI: 1.03 to 1.91; p = 0.035) were associated with incident cancer but not high-sensitivity troponin (p = 0.47). Prevalent CVD and the development of interim CV events were not associated with higher risk of subsequent cancer. However, ideal CV health was associated with lower future cancer risk (HR: 0.95 per 1-point increase in the AHA health score; 95% CI: 0.92 to 0.99; p = 0.009). Conclusions CVD risk, as captured by traditional CVD risk factors, 10-year ASCVD risk score, and natriuretic peptide concentrations are associated with increased risk of future cancer. Conversely, a heart healthy lifestyle is associated with a lower risk of future cancer. These data suggest that the association between CVD and future cancer is attributable to shared risk factors.

Abstract
The co-occurrence of cancer and heart failure (HF) represents a significant clinical drawback as each disease interferes with the treatment of the other. In addition to shared risk factors, a growing body of experimental and clinical evidence reveals numerous commonalities in the biology underlying both pathologies. Inflammation emerges as a common hallmark for both diseases as it contributes to the initiation and progression of both HF and cancer. Under stress, malignant and cardiac cells change their metabolic preferences to survive, which makes these metabolic derangements a great basis to develop intersection strategies and therapies to combat both diseases. Furthermore, genetic predisposition and clonal haematopoiesis are common drivers for both conditions and they hold great clinical relevance in the context of personalized medicine. Additionally, altered angiogenesis is a common hallmark for failing hearts and tumours and represents a promising substrate to target in both diseases. Cardiac cells and malignant cells interact with their surrounding environment called stroma. This interaction mediates the progression of the two pathologies and understanding the structure and function of each stromal component may pave the way for innovative therapeutic strategies and improved outcomes in patients. The interdisciplinary collaboration between cardiologists and oncologists is essential to establish unified guidelines. To this aim, pre-clinical models that mimic the human situation, where both pathologies coexist, are needed to understand all the aspects of the bidirectional relationship between cancer and HF. Finally, adequately powered clinical studies, including patients from all ages, and men and women, with proper adjudication of both cancer and cardiovascular endpoints, are essential to accurately study these two pathologies at the same time.

Abstract
In the last decade, cardiologists and oncologists have provided clinical and experimental evidence that cancer, and not only chemotherapeutic agents, can cause detrimental effects on heart structure and function, a consequence that has serious clinical implications for patient management. In parallel, the intriguing idea that heart failure (HF) may be an oncogenic condition has also received growing attention. A number of epidemiological and clinical studies have reported that patients with HF have a higher risk of developing cancer. Chronic low-grade systemic inflammation has been proposed as a major pathophysiological process linking the failing heart to the multi-step process of carcinogenesis. According to this view, pro-inflammatory mediators secreted by the damaged heart generate a favorable milieu that promotes tumor development and accelerates malignant transformation. HF-associated inflammation synergizes with tumor-associated inflammation, so that over time it is no longer possible to distinguish the effects of one or the other. Experimental studies have just begun to search for the molecular effectors of this process, with the ultimate goal that of identifying mechanisms suitable for anti-cancer target therapy to reduce the risk of incident cancer in patients already affected by HF. In this review we critically discuss strengths and limitations of clinical and experimental studies that support a causal relationship between HF and cancer, and focus on HF-associated inflammation, cardiokines and their endocrine functions linking one and the other disease.

Abstract
Background Heart failure (HF) and breast cancer are 2 of the leading causes of death in postmenopausal women. The temporal association between HF and breast cancer in postmenopausal women has not been described. Objectives This study sought to examine the temporal association between HF and breast cancer. Methods Postmenopausal women within the WHI (Women's Health Initiative) cohort were studied. All prevalent HF and prevalent breast cancer at enrollment were self-reported. Incident hospitalized HF and breast cancer diagnoses were adjudicated through 2017. Results Among a cohort of 44,174 women (mean age 63 ± 7 years), 2,188 developed incident invasive breast cancer and 2,416 developed incident hospitalized HF over a median follow-up of 14 and 15 years, respectively. When compared with a breast cancer- and HF-free cohort, there was no association between prevalent HF and incident invasive breast cancer and similarly, there was no association between prevalent breast cancer and incident hospitalized HF. Across the entire cohort, the median survival after incident hospitalized HF was worse compared with an incident invasive breast cancer diagnosis (5 and 19 years, respectively). In women with incident invasive breast cancer, prevalent HF was associated with an increased risk of mortality (hazard ratio: 2.28; 95% confidence interval: 1.31 to 3.95). In women with incident hospitalized HF, prevalent breast cancer was associated with an increased risk of mortality (hazard ratio: 1.66; 95% confidence interval: 1.03 to 2.68). Cause of death after incident HF was different only in women with prevalent and interim breast cancer compared with those without prevalent and interim breast cancer. Conclusions In postmenopausal women, prevalent HF was not associated with a higher incidence of breast cancer and vice versa. However, the presence of incident invasive breast cancer or incident HF in those with prevalent HF or prevalent breast cancer, respectively, was associated with increased mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer complicating heart failure (HF) is an emerging issue. We investigated it in the GISSI-HF trial, which uniquely included patients with malignancies if deemed likely to allow follow-up. METHODS AND RESULTS At enrolment, 256 of 6913 participants in GISSI-HF (3.7%) had a tumour diagnosis, which was malignant (cancer) in 145 (2.1%). Patients with cancer were older and more often former smokers, had lower body mass index, lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), less implanted devices, lower glucose and haemoglobin and higher uric acid levels than those without cancer. During a median 4-year follow-up, cardiovascular (CV), non-CV non-cancer and cancer death occurred in 1477, 272 and 220 subjects (75%, 13.8% and 11.2% of total mortality, respectively). Cancer at trial entry portended an increased risk of all-cause mortality after accounting for age and confounders (HR 1.33, 95%CI 1.02-1.73), which was attributable to cancer-specific mortality. Among the 6657 patients without any tumour at enrolment, 1879 subsequently died. CV, non-CV non-cancer and cancer causes accounted for 1422 (75.7%), 261 (13.9%) and 196 (10.4%) of these deaths, respectively, median time to specific death being 22, 25 and 30 months (P < .0001). Patients facing cancer vs CV death had lower NYHA class, slower heart rate, higher blood pressure, higher LVEF, shorter HF history, less diuretic use, lower creatinine and uric acid and higher haemoglobin and cholesterol. CONCLUSIONS Even when considered not aggressive, concomitant cancer worsens HF prognosis. The inverse relationship between HF severity and cancer death in the absence of prior tumour warrants further study.

Abstract
Background The burden of cancer in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is apparently growing. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) may help understanding this observation, since they span decades of heart failure treatment. Methods and Results We assessed cancer, cardiovascular, and total mortality in phase 3 heart failure RCTs involving ≥90% individuals with left ventricular ejection fraction <45%, who were not acutely decompensated and did not represent specific patient subsets. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) of each type of death for the control and treatment arms were calculated using a random‐effects model. Temporal trends and the impact of patient and RCT characteristics on mortality outcomes were evaluated by meta‐regression analysis. Cancer mortality was reported for 15 (25%) of 61 RCTs, including 33 709 subjects, and accounted for 6% to 14% of all deaths and 17% to 67% of noncardiovascular deaths. Cancer mortality rate was 0.58 (95% CI, 0.46–0.71) per 100 patient‐years without temporal trend (P=0.35). Cardiovascular (P=0.001) and total (P=0.001) mortality rates instead decreased over time. Moreover, cancer mortality was not influenced by treatment (OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.92–1.28), unlike cardiovascular (OR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.79–0.98) and all‐cause (OR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.84–0.99) mortality. Meta‐regression did not reveal significant sources of heterogeneity. Possible reasons for excluding patients with malignancy overlapped among RCTs with and without published cancer mortality, and malignancy was an exclusion criterion only for 4 (8.7%) of the RCTs not reporting cancer mortality. Conclusions Cancer is a major, yet overlooked cause of noncardiovascular death in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, which has become more prominent with cardiovascular mortality decline.

J Cardiol 2020; 77:231-238. [PMID: 32863081 DOI: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2020.07.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2020] [Revised: 07/14/2020] [Accepted: 07/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) and cancer are currently two leading causes of mortality, and sometimes coexist. However, the relationship between them is not completely elucidated. We aimed to investigate whether patients with HF are predisposed to cancer development using the large Korean National Health Insurance claims database. METHODS This study included 128,441 HF patients without a history of cancer and 642,205 age- and sex-matched individuals with no history of cancer and HF between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2015. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 4.06 years, 11,808 patients from the HF group and 40,805 participants from the control were newly diagnosed with cancer (cumulative incidence, 9.2% vs. 6.4%, p < 0.0001). Patients with HF presented a higher risk for cancer development compared to controls in multivariable Cox analysis [hazard ratio (HR) 1.64, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.61-1.68]. The increased risk was consistent for all site-specific cancers. To minimize potential surveillance bias, additional analysis was performed by eliminating participants who developed cancer within the initial 2 years of HF diagnosis (i.e. 2-year lag analysis). In the 2-year lag analysis, the higher risk of overall cancer remained significant in patients with HF (HR 1.09, 95% CI 1.05-1.13), although the association was weaker. Among the site-specific cancers, three types of cancer (lung, liver/biliary/pancreas, and hematologic malignancy) were consistently at higher risk in patients with HF. An exploratory analysis showed that patients with repeated HF hospitalization had a higher risk of cancer development compared to those without, in a pattern of stepwise increases across the three groups [controls vs. HF without re-hospitalization vs. HF with re-hospitalization ≥1; HR (95% CI), 1.00 (reference) vs. 1.55 (1.51-1.59) vs. 1.96 (1.89-2.03), respectively]. CONCLUSIONS Cancer incidence is higher in patients with HF than the general population. Active surveillance of coexisting malignancy needs to be considered in these patients.

Prevalence and incidence of various Cancer subtypes in patients with heart failure vs matched controls. Int J Cardiol 2020; 316:209-213. [PMID: 32446924 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2020.05.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2020] [Revised: 04/28/2020] [Accepted: 05/13/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with heart failure (HF) may be at increased risks of cancer, but the magnitude of risk for various cancer subtypes is insufficiently investigated. METHOD Using the Danish Nationwide administrative databases between 1997 and 2017, we estimated the prevalence, incidence and relative risk for all-cause cancer in new-diagnosed HF vs. age and sex-matched controls (up to 5 controls per HF case) before and after adjustment for comorbidities. RESULTS Among the 167,633 people in the heart failure group and 837,126 individuals in the control group, there was a higher prevalence of several comorbidities, including cancer (17% vs. 10%) in the HF group; odds ratio 1.72 (1.70-1.75). Patients with heart failure also had higher cancer incidence (cancer incidence rate 3.02 [2.97-3.07] per 100 person-years), compared with controls (cancer incidence rate 1.89 [1.88-1.90]); hazards ratio 1.38 (1.36-1.40). However, after adjustment for comorbidities the increased risk of malignancy was greatly attenuated (hazards ratio 1.14 [1.12-1.16] for incident all-cause cancer) and dissipated altogether after additional adjustment for medications (multivariable adjusted hazards ratio 0.93 [0.91-0.96] for all-cause cancer). In a homogeneous cohort of patients with ischemic heart disease, the increased risk of all-cause cancer was only marginally increased after adjustment for baseline comorbidities (hazards ratio 1.05 [1.02-1.08]). CONCLUSION Patients with heart failure had a slightly increased risk of various cancer subtypes, but the risks were mainly driven by comorbidities.

Abstract
AIMS The progression of heart failure is presumably dependent on the individual inflammatory host response. The combination of the inflammatory markers, albumin, and C-reactive protein, termed modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), has been derived from cancer patients and validated in multiple cohorts. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the easily available mGPS on survival of stable patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with stable HFrEF undergoing routine ambulatory care between January 2011 and November 2017 have been identified from a prospective registry at the Medical University of Vienna. Comorbidities, laboratory data as well as the nutritional risk index at baseline were assessed. All-cause mortality was defined as the primary study end point. The mGPS was calculated, and its association with heart failure severity and impact on overall survival were determined. Data were analysed for a total of 443 patients. The mGPS was 0 for 352 (80%), 1 for 76 (17%), and 2 for 14 (3%) patients, respectively. Elevation of mGPS was associated with worsening of routine laboratory parameters linked to prognosis, especially NT-proBNP [median 1830 pg/mL (IQR 764-3455) vs. 4484 pg/mL (IQR 1565-8003) vs. 6343 pg/mL (IQR 3750-15401) for mGPS 0, 1, and 2, respectively; P < 0.001] and nutritional risk index. In the Cox regression analysis, the increase of mGPS was associated with adverse outcome in the univariate analysis [crude hazard ratio 3.00 (95% CI 2.14-4.21), P < 0.001] and after adjustment for multiple covariates as age, gender, body mass index, and glomerular filtration rate as well as heart failure severity reflected by NT-proBNP and New York Heart Association class [adj. hazard ratio 1.87 (95% CI 1.19-2.93), P = 0.006]. CONCLUSIONS Enhanced inflammation and nutritional depletion are more common in advanced heart failure. The inflammation-based score mGPS predicts survival in HFrEF patients independently of NT-proBNP emphasizing the significance of the individual pro-inflammatory response on prognosis.

Abstract
Recent epidemiological analyses suggest that incident cancer may be more common among patients with preexisting heart failure (HF) than in patients without HF. Arguments against this notion have been the increased chance of co-occurrence of 2 high-prevalence conditions and increased tumor detection in patients with HF because of intensified medical observation. However, biological data lend support to the hypothesis that HF is an oncogenic condition. Neurohormonal activation has been related to cancer initiation, progression, and dissemination by studies not specifically focusing on HF, which are now reappraised in the light of the emerging evidence that tumors are diagnosed more often in HF than control cohorts. Furthermore, a thought-provoking scenario to be considered is that a systemically perturbed milieu, where low-grade inflammation plays a primary role, leads to both HF and malignancy, thus connecting 1 disease to another. Postischemic HF has been shown to promote tumor growth in an animal model. Exploring these and other pathways potentially linking HF to malignancy is a new and exciting field of research, with the ultimate goal of answering the question of whether HF does promote cancer.

Abstract
Emerging evidence supports that cancer incidence is increased in patients with cardiovascular (CV) disease and heart failure (HF), and patients with HF frequently die from cancer. Recently, data have been generated showing that circulating factors in relation to HF promote tumour growth and development in murine models, providing proof that a causal relationship exists between both diseases. Several common pathophysiological mechanisms linking HF to cancer exist, and include inflammation, neuro‐hormonal activation, oxidative stress and a dysfunctional immune system. These shared mechanisms, in combination with risk factors, in concert may explain why patients with HF are prone to develop cancer. Investigating the new insights linking HF with cancer is rapidly becoming an exciting new field of research, and we herein review the most recent data. Besides insights in mechanisms, we call for clinical awareness, that is essential to optimize treatment strategies of patients having developed cancer with a history of HF. Finally, ongoing and future trials should strive for comprehensive phenotyping of both CV and cancer end points, to allow optimal usefulness of data, and to better describe and understand common characteristics of these two lethal diseases.
