Can a better heart scan save hodgkin survivors?
NCT ID NCT02106611
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 133 Hodgkin lymphoma survivors who had chest radiation at least 5 years ago. Researchers compared two heart tests—a stress echocardiogram and a cardiac MRI—to see which one finds heart damage earlier. The goal is to improve long-term heart monitoring for these survivors.

Inclusion Criteria: * Classical or nodular lymphocyte predominant HL treated at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. * Age ≥ 18 years * Treatment for HL that included mediastinal RT at initial diagnosis or relapse. * ≥ 5 years from last HL treatment. Exclusion Criteria: * Primary HL diagnosis prior to 1980. * Additional mediastinal RT or subsequent cardiotoxic systemic therapy for secondary malignant neoplasm. * Known CAD/CHF (defined as documented myocardial infarction, cardiac revascularization, angiographic obstructive CAD, or decreased LV function \[EF \< 55%\] during prior clinical care). * Contraindication to MRI (i.e. pacemakers, defibrillators, or aneurysm clips, or other implanted ferromagnetic objects), gadolinium (i.e. known hypersensitivity to gadolinium, advanced renal insufficiency as defined by glomerular filtration rate \<30 ml/min/1.73m\^2). * Contraindication to exercise stress testing other than the above (i.e. unstable angina or severe valvular stenosis).
