Why the study?
Breast cancer survivors have an elevated mortality compared with the general population for many years after diagnosis, and preventing cardiac deaths could reduce mortality.
Do breast cancer survivors have elevated all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality compared to the general population?
Do breast cancer survivors have elevated all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality compared to the general population?
Preventing cardiac deaths, particularly among older breast cancer patients, could lead to reductions in overall mortality.
May reflect CVD contribution to excess deaths; leaves open whether targeted prevention alters survivor outcomes.
