Is the risk of cardiovascular disease increased in long-term breast cancer survivors compared to the general population?
Long-term breast cancer survivors have a moderate risk of CVD 10 to 15 years post-diagnosis compared to the general population, highlighting the importance of cardiovascular risk awareness in this population.
Supports CVD risk awareness in long-term breast cancer survivors; extends observational data but leaves open need for prospective confirmation.
Risk of CVD compared to the general population was moderate among this cohort of long-term breast cancer survivors between 10 to 15 years since cancer diagnosis. Awareness of CVD risks is important for breast cancer survivors.
