Incident Cardiovascular Disease Risk among Older Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Breast Cancer Survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiotoxicity among breast cancer survivors is associated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (ANHPI) breast cancer survivors in the United States is unknown.

Methods

We used the SEER-Medicare linked database to estimate the risk of CVD among older breast cancer survivors. International Classification of Disease diagnosis codes were used to identify incident CVD outcomes. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate HRs and 95% confidence intervals (CI) comparing ANHPI with Non-Hispanic White (NHW) patients with breast cancer for CVD, and among ANHPI race and ethnicity groups.

Results

A total of 7,122 ANHPI breast cancer survivors and 21,365 NHW breast
