Primary Objective The objective is to determine the feasibility and agreement of remote evaluation of resting heart rate and HRV using the commercially available WHOOP® wrist monitor, compared to in-office measurements using AtCor Medical SphygmoCor HRV Software, in a cohort of 40 St. Jude Life Study participants with a history of mantle radiation for management of Hodgkin lymphoma. Elucidating the mechanisms that contribute to adverse cardiovascular outcomes and reduced quality of life among the growing population of childhood cancer survivors is paramount. Cancer, certain cancer drugs, radiation therapy, cancer-associated lifestyle disturbances, and cancer-independent comorbidities combine to predispose cancer survivors to autonomic dysfunction (AD). Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) has been described in various cancer cohorts. Furthermore, these markers of AD have been implicated in adverse outcomes in oncology patients, including increased mortality, exercise limitation, and fatigue. However, data are largely derived from small studies with methodological limitations, and the contribution of AD to overall morbidity and mortality in cancer survivors is not well understood.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

The number of patients who wear, return and have sufficient data for analysis of resting heart rate and HRV after removal of noise by WHOOP® HRV software data analysis algorithms.
Timeframe: 48 hours
The degree of agreement between measurements of continuous HRV parameters derived from the two methods will be assessed using linear regression, Pearson's correlation coefficient and Bland Altman analysis.
Timeframe: 10 minute electrocardiogram recording
