In 2005, more than 10 million people in the United States were cancer survivors, and that number is expected to grow as therapies for cancer improve and the population ages. Although survival is something to be celebrated, it can be accompanied by a number of health problems secondary to the initial disease and its treatment. Cardiovascular problems are emerging as a particular concern among the survivor population. This article reviews what is known about the kinds and rates of cardiovascular complications common to cancer survivors, the treatments that caused them, and the risk factors for them. It also presents guidance for primary care providers caring for survivors who may be at risk of cardiovascular complications.
2005年，美国有超过1000万人是癌症幸存者，随着癌症治疗方法的改进和人口老龄化，这一数字预计还会上升。虽然生存是值得庆贺的事，但它可能伴随着一系列继发于初始疾病及其治疗的健康问题。心血管问题正成为幸存者群体中特别令人担忧的问题。本文回顾了关于癌症幸存者常见心血管并发症的种类和发生率、导致这些并发症的治疗方法以及相关风险因素的已知情况。它还为照顾可能有心血管并发症风险的幸存者的初级保健提供者提供了指导。
