Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer survivors, with the risk increasing significantly with the presence of multiple cardiac risk factors (RF). The proportion of cancer survivors at elevated risk of CVD on the basis of multiple RF is unknown. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 1999-2006) was used to examine the proportion of cancer survivors with multiple RF (≥2RF) and those at high cardiac risk (≥4 RF) compared with matched controls. RF (hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, weight, exercise, smoking) were defined according to AHA/ACC. A total of 1,227 cancer survivors and 4,782 controls were identified. The majority of both cancer survivors and controls had multiple RF (91.5 vs. 89.9%) with a substantial proportion at high cardiac risk (35.2 vs. 32.6%). Compared to controls, survivors were more likely to be smokers (34.5 vs. 25.7%, p = 0.001), but less likely be overweight (67.2 vs. 72.0%, p = 0.02). There was no significant difference in the proportion with hypertension (30.6 vs. 30.8%), hypercholesterolemia (52.4 vs. 54.7%) or low exercise (75.6 vs. 73.0%). Among survivors, only age was associated with RF; with older survivors significantly more likely to...Continue Reading

Cancer Incidence & Mortality

Cancer has emerged as a global concern due to its increase in incidence and mortality. Efforts are underway to evaluate and develop action plans to reduce the global burden of cancer. Currently, lung cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer are the leading causes of cancer mortality. Here is the latest research on cancer incidence and mortality.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
