JACC: CardioOncology - Use of Polygenic Risk Score for Prediction of Heart Failure in Cancer Survivors

10/15/24 • 2 min

In this episode, Dr. Sonia Shah explores a study from Australian researchers that evaluates the effectiveness of a polygenic risk score in predicting heart failure among cancer survivors. While the score enhanced prediction compared to age and sex alone, it did not significantly outperform existing modifiable risk factors, highlighting the need for more comprehensive models that account for unique risks faced by cancer patients.
