  Figure 1. Shared Risk Factors, Bidirectional Relationship, and Therapeutic Interactions Between Cancer and CVD Shared risk factors contribute to the bidirectional relationship between cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Comorbid CVD and cancer are associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. CHIP = clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential; HTN = hypertension; TKI = tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
