CHF indicates congestive heart failure; RT, radiotherapy; CT, chemotherapy; NA, not applicable because there were no patients at risk in this subgroup.

*

The median age at diagnosis was similar for the different treatment groups.

Because only patients who survived at least 5 years after HL diagnosis and patients without previous CVDs are included, the cumulative incidence at 5 years is 0% for all patients.
