Multiple risk factors overlap for BC and CVD such as older age, Western diet, early menarche, physical inactivity, high body mass index, and smoking. In this review, results are summarized from studies that report the presence of CV risk factors and CVD in BC survivors. Also described are the CV effects of BC therapies (chemotherapy, hormonal agents, targeted therapies, and radiotherapy) and the type of CV evaluation (cardiac imaging and measurement of biomarkers) that these patients may need.
