Risk factors and outcomes during a first acute myocardial infarction in breast cancer survivors compared to females without breast cancer: A nationwide cohort study
American Journal of Medicine Nov 14, 2019
Yandrapalli S, Malik AH, Pemmasani G, et al. - In this cohort study, the United States National Inpatient Sample years 2005-2015 retrospectively investigated to recognize adult women with a first myocardial infarction in order to examine the variations in epidemiology and outcomes of a first myocardial infarction in breast cancer survivors in comparison with the general female population in the United States. Of 1,644,032 first myocardial infarction cases in adult women, 56,842 were breast cancer survivors. A first acute myocardial infarction in breast cancer survivors was noted at an elderly age along with minute yet favorable variations in cardiovascular disease risk factors and outcomes in comparison with women without breast cancer. The favorable influence of health education, preventative medical care, greater motivation for a healthier life-style, and participation in cancer survivorship programs on these apparently contradictory findings in breast cancer survivors should be additionally assessed.
