Background
Prior research suggests that breast cancer patients with a high burden of frailty may face an increased risk of cardiotoxicity.
Objectives
This study sought to examine the association between frailty and cardiotoxicity rates in female breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant therapy after surgery.
Methods
We analyzed data from the OneFlorida+ clinical research network, focusing on breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy and targeted therapy from 2012 to 2022. Cardiovascular rates during adjuvant treatments were calculated based on pre-existing frailty, measured using the cumulative deficit frailty index (electronic health record frailty index). We employed multivariable Gray’s method to examine the association between frailty with cardiotoxicity.
Results
The final cohort included 2,050 patients (mean age 50.6 years), with 415 (20.2%) experiencing nonfatal adverse cardiovascular events after adjuvant therapy. The incidence of adverse cardiovascular events was 17.8% in robust, 23.2% in prefrail, and 29.4% in frail patients. In multivariable analysis, prefrail (adjusted subdistribution HR [sHR]: 1.35; 95% CI: 1.06-1.71; P = 0.015) and frail (adjusted sHR: 1.70; 95% CI: 1.11-2.61; P = 0.015) patients had a higher likelihood of experiencing adverse cardiovascular events compared with robust patients. Among non-Hispanic White and Black patients, prefrail (adjusted sHR: 1.48; 95% CI: 1.04-2.11; P = 0.031; and adjusted sHR: 1.59; 95% CI: 1.06-2.37; P = 0.024, respectively) and frail (adjusted sHR: 1.96; 95% CI: 1.10-3.50; P = 0.022; and adjusted sHR: 2.13; 95% CI: 1.11-4.10; P = 0.023, respectively) patients were more likely to experience adverse cardiovascular events compared with robust patients. No significant differences were observed in other racial/ethnic groups.
Conclusions
These findings highlight the need for close monitoring of cardiotoxicity in frail breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant treatments to improve cardiovascular risk management.

Background
Patients with lymphoma are at high risk for developing heart failure (HF) after autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). More accurate risk determination pre-HCT may facilitate screening and prevention of HF.
Objectives
The aim of this study was to examine the association between clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and the risk for HF after HCT for lymphoma.
Methods
This was a retrospective cohort study of 861 patients who underwent autologous HCT for lymphoma between 2010 and 2016 at City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center. Targeted DNA sequencing was performed to determine the presence of CHIP (variant allele frequency ≥ 2%). The primary outcome of interest was the 5-year cumulative incidence of de novo HF. Other outcomes of interest included overall and cause-specific mortality.
Results
Overall, 186 patients (21.7% of the cohort) had at least 1 CHIP variant, and 59 (6.9%) had ≥2 variants. DNMT3A, PPM1D, and TET2 were the most frequently mutated genes. The 5-year incidence of HF was significantly higher in patients with CHIP compared with those without CHIP (13.8% vs 4.7%; P < 0.001; sub-distribution hazard ratio [sHR]: 2.48; 95% CI: 1.32-4.68); the HF incidence increased by variant allele frequency: 0-2% (4.7%), 2-10% (11.7%), and >10% (18.5%), P < 0.001. Patients with CHIP had significantly worse overall survival after HCT, compared with those without (63.4% vs 80.3%; P < 0.001), due primarily to the higher risk for nonrelapse mortality (subdistribution HR: 5.37; 95% CI: 2.34-12.35).
Conclusions
CHIP was highly prevalent and associated with risk for HF and nonrelapse mortality after HCT. These findings highlight the role of CHIP as a novel biomarker and potential target for intervention to improve outcomes after autologous HCT.
