Cardiovascular mortality trends and disparities in U.S. breast cancer patients, 1999-2020: a population-based retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Breast cancer survivors face a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to non-breast cancer patients, yet contemporary data on CVD-related mortality within this group remains scarce.

Objective

To investigate trends and disparities in CVD mortality among breast cancer patients.

Methods

We queried the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (CDC Wonder) and conducted serial cross-sectional analyses on national death certificate data for CVD mortality in breast cancer patients aged 25 and above from 1999 to 2020. We calculated age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) per 100,000 individuals and analyzed trends over time using the Joinpoint Regression Program, with further analyses stratified by a
