Why the study?
There may be heterogeneity in lung cancer-related outcomes for Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islanders, prompting investigation into cardiovascular disease risk disparities compared to Non-Hispanic White survivors.
Does cardiovascular disease risk differ between older Asian, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander (ANHPI) and Non-Hispanic White lung cancer survivors?
Population
3920 ANHPI and 11,760 NHW lung cancer patients aged 66 years and older
Comparison
ANHPI lung cancer patients and race/ethnicity subgroups vs NHW lung cancer patients
Design
Registry-based retrospective cohort study

Disparities in CVD risk among ANHPI lung cancer survivors warrant attention; leaves open whether ethnicity-specific prevention improves outcomes.
Does cardiovascular disease risk differ between older Asian, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander (ANHPI) and Non-Hispanic White lung cancer survivors?
Older ANHPI lung cancer survivors have a lower overall risk of incident heart failure and ischemic heart disease compared to NHW survivors, though risk varies significantly among ANHPI subgroups.
Pan et al. (2025) studied this question.
