Background Cancer survivors are at increased risk of heart failure (HF). While cardiotoxicity is commonly sought at the time of cancer chemotherapy, HF develops as a result of multiple ‘hits’ over time, and there is limited evidence regarding the frequency and causes of HF during survivorship. Objectives This systematic review sought to investigate the relationship between cardiotoxic cancer therapies and HF during survivorship.
