Cancer survivors in rural and persistently impoverished US counties face the highest excess cardiovascular mortality, indicating need for targeted cardio-oncology care.
Is cardiovascular mortality risk after cancer diagnosis associated with county-level characteristics such as rurality and poverty?
Cancer survivors face excess cardiovascular mortality, particularly in rural and impoverished counties, highlighting the need for targeted cardio-oncology care in vulnerable communities.
