Do modifiable cardiovascular risk factors, particularly hypertension, increase the risk of major cardiac events in adult survivors of childhood cancer?
Hypertension and other modifiable risk factors increase the risk of major cardiac events in adult survivors of childhood cancer, highlighting a target for future interventions.
Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors, particularly hypertension, potentiate therapy-associated risk for major cardiac events in this population and should be the focus of future interventional studies.
Armstrong et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
