Prognostic Value of the American Heart Association PREVENT Cardiovascular Disease Risk Equations in Cancer Survivorship: A NHANES Population‐Based Study (2009–2018)
Analysis shows high cardiovascular risk in cancer survivors correlates with increased mortality, suggesting the PREVENT equations could aid risk assessment.
Key Points
Higher baseline cardiovascular risk in cancer survivors significantly correlates with increased mortality.
Approximately 27.84% of cancer survivors exhibit high cardiovascular risk, with colon and prostate cancer survivors at the highest prevalence.
Each 5% rise in baseline cardiovascular risk leads to a considerable increase in all-cause and cardiovascular mortality risks.
The study utilized data from the NHANES database, analyzing records over a median follow-up of 9.8 years.
