In non-cancer populations, higher diet quality is associated with protection against CVD, but the relationship between diet and cardiac function in cancer survivors is unknown.<h4>Methods</h4>This cross-sectional analysis from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) cohort included 113 cancer survivors (55 breast, 53 prostate, three lung, and three blood) and 4233 non-cancer controls. Dietary intake was reported via validated food frequency questionnaire. Alternate healthy eating index (AHEI) was calculated as a measure of quality. Cardiac function, determined as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), was assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance.<h4>Results</h4>Cancer survivProgress in cardiovascular diseasesHigher diet quality relates to better cardiac function in cancer survivors: The multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis.PMC11250904UL1 TR001420N01HC95159T32 CA09342375N92020D0000775N92020D0000175N92020D0000275N92020D0000575N92020D0000675N92020D0000375N92020D00004UL1 TR000040HHSN268201500003CN01HC95160N01HC95161UL1 TR001079N01HC95162N01HC95163N01HC95164N01HC95165N01HC95166N01HC95167N01HC95168N01HC95169P30 CA016059HHSN268201500003IHundley WGBellissimo MPJordan JHHe JLima JASalloum FNCarbone SLaRose JGBandyopadhyay DAmbale-Venkatesh BfalseHigher diet quality relates to better cardiac function in cancer survivors: The multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis.<h4>Background</h4>Cancer therapies induce cardiac injury and increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.
