Medical approach in cardio-oncology program based on patient categories

Group class	Definition	Clinical approach	Visit setting
Screening population	Cancer patients and CCS at risk of cardiotoxicity due to cardiac and oncologic history but no evidence of cardiac dysfunction or symptoms	Visit focused on cardiovascular health counseling and management of CV risk factors	Cardio-oncology multidisciplinary survivorship clinic
Early intervention group	Evidence of mild subclinical cardiotoxicity based on echocardiographic or CMR parameters	Cardiovascular health counseling and management of risk factors plus consideration of cardiac medications based on HF guidelines	Cardio-oncology multidisciplinary survivorship clinic
Heart failure group	Patients with moderately or severely depressed cardiac function or symptomatic heart failure	Cardiovascular health counseling and management of risk factors plus HF guided medical therapy	Cardio-oncology heart failure clinic

CCS: childhood cancer survivor, EF: ejection fraction, GLS: global longitudinal strain, CV: cardiovascular, HF: heart failure, CMR: cardiac magnetic resonance
