Abstract

Cancer is associated with increased long-term cardiovascular risks and psychological distress. Whilst psychological distress has been linked to elevated cardiovascular risks, the strong correlation between cancer and cardiovascular diseases may modify the cardiovascular effects of psychological distress. It is thus unclear if these associations hold true for cancer survivors. Investigations in this area are needed as the number of cancer survivors increases. We therefore investigated the relationship between psychological distress and cardiovascular health amongst cancer survivors.
