Key result
Cardiovascular disease and cancer share predisposing factors and mechanisms, including low-grade inflammation, highlighting the need for joint risk scoring and reduction strategies.
Why the study?
Cardiovascular disease and cancer are major global causes of death that share predisposing factors and mechanisms involving low-grade inflammation, requiring joint risk assessment.
Cardiovascular disease and cancer share predisposing factors and mechanisms, highlighting the need for joint risk scoring and reduction strategies.
Cardiovascular disease and cancer continue to be the major causes of death worldwide and the two conditions have more in common than previously acknowledged. In fact, both diseases share many predisposing factors and mechanisms, with a common background of low-grade inflammation. Thus, both cardiologists and oncologists should score both cardiovascular and cancer risk factors and develop risk reduction strategies for their patients.
