ACE-I, angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor; ARB, angiotensin II receptor blockers; BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; CTRCD, cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction; CV, cardiovascular; HF, heart failure; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; MRA, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist; OR, odds ratio.

Cardiac-specific treatment meant to receive at least ACE-I/ARB after CTRCD diagnosis. Bold means statistically significant (p < 0.05).
