Trends and disparities in chronic ischemic heart disease mortality among adult cancer patients: a nationwide CDC WONDER analysis (1999–2020)
This nationwide analysis highlights a significant decline in chronic IHD-related mortality among cancer patients, with persistent disparities by gender, age, race, and geographic location. The recent rise in AAMRs after 2018 suggests emerging risk factors that warrant further investigation. Addressing these disparities through targeted cardiovascular risk management in cancer patients is crucial to improving long-term outcomes.
