Cardiovascular Complications in Cancer Survivors

Cancer survivors can experience cardiovascular complications due to the disease itself or its treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation. These treatments can damage the heart and blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and other cardiovascular issues later in life. Survivors may also face challenges like obesity and lifestyle changes that further elevate these risks. Regular check-ups and a focus on heart health—through diet, exercise, and monitoring—are essential for cancer survivors to manage their overall well-being and reduce potential cardiovascular problems in the future.
