Abstract

Purpose of review

As the number of cancer survivors continues to rise with improved early-detection methods and advancing therapies, along with it, there come adverse health outcomes as a result of physiological and psychological effects of cancer, as well as adverse effects of cancer treatment itself. This paper reviews the risk of cardiovascular disease in cancer survivors.

Recent findings

Cancer survivors are at higher risk of having modifiable cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, tobacco smoking, and physical inactivity. Cardiotoxicity is a well-established adverse effect of various anticancer regimens, which further elevates the cardiovascular risk in cancer patients.

Summary

The increased risk of CVD and CVD-related death in cancer survivors is likely to be multifactorial, involving cardiotoxic effects of cancer treatments as well as comorbidities and harmful lifestyle habits. Targeting and managing known cardiac risk factors should be a main target in CVD prevention in cancer survivors.
