Sophia Antipolis - 28 June 2021: A study in more than 200,000 individuals has found that patients with heart failure are more likely to develop cancer compared to their peers without heart failure. The research is presented today at Heart Failure 2021, an online scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC),1 and published in
ESC Heart Failure, a journal of the ESC.2 This was an observational study and the results do not prove that heart failure causes cancer, said author Dr. Mark Luedde of the Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel and Cardiology Joint Practice Bremerhaven, Germany. However, the findings do suggest that heart failure patients may benefit from cancer prevention measures.

Sophia Antipolis, 14 May 2021: Nearly one in four patients with heart failure is depressed or anxious, according to a study published during this week s Heart Failure Awareness Days. Patients with heart failure were 20% more likely to develop these mental health issues during the five years after diagnosis compared to those with cancer. The findings are published in the
European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).1 The treatment of mental illnesses in cancer patients - psycho-oncology - is long-established but similar services for heart patients (psycho-cardiology) are still in their infancy, said study author Dr. Mark Luedde of the Cardiological Group Practice, Bremerhaven, Germany. Our study suggests that heart failure patients could benefit from greater support with psychological problems.
