The risk of cardiac hospitalization (CH) in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients with pre-existing heart disease was evaluated. Patients with HL were identified from a population-based registry (N=3,964). Data were abstracted from records of a randomly selected subcohort (N=1,096). A population-based registry was used to identify CH. Factors associated with CH, and the incidence of CH following HL were estimated with competing risk models. Pre-existing heart disease was the strongest predictor of post-treatment...
