Cardiovascular screening outcomes in the Dutch survivorship care program for Hodgkin lymphoma survivors

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to former lymphoma treatment. In 2013, cardiovascular screening for 5-year HL survivors according to national guidelines was implemented in Dutch survivorship clinics. We aim to assess the following: (1) adherence to screening guidelines and (2) the yield of (risk factors for) CVD in the screening program.

Patient characteristics, cardiovascular screening procedures, and outcomes were collected from the medical records. In 186 survivors eligible for cardiovascular screening (mean age 47.8 years, 60.8
