Cardiovascular disease is a competing cause of death in patients with cancer early-stage disease. This elevated cardiovascular risk thought to derive from both the direct effects therapies and accumulation factors such as hypertension, weight gain, cigarette smoking, loss cardiorespiratory fitness. Effective viable strategies are needed mitigate this population; multimodal model cardiac rehabilitation may be potential solution. statement American Heart Association provides an overview...

Sedentary behavior is associated with several health outcomes, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality. Less known about the association between objectively measured sedentary cancer mortality, as well physical activity.To examine accelerometer-measured (total volume accrual in prolonged, uninterrupted bouts) mortality.A prospective cohort study conducted contiguous US included 8002 black white adults aged 45 years or older enrolled Reasons for Geographic Racial...

Background: A robust literature demonstrates that coronary artery calcification (CAC) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are independent predictors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. Much less is known about the joint associations CRF CAC with CVD risk. In setting high CAC, versus low has been associated decreased The goal this study was to assess effect continuous levels on risk in increasing burden. Methods: We studied 8425 men without clinical who underwent preventive medicine...

Among 29,701 Black and White participants aged 45 years older in the Reasons for Geographic Racial Difference Stroke (REGARDS) study, allostatic load (AL) was defined as sum score of established baseline risk-associated biomarkers which exceeded a set cutoff point. Cox proportional hazard regression utilized to determine association AL with all-cause cancer-specific mortality, analyses stratified by body-mass index, age group, race. At baseline, Blacks had higher compared Whites (Black mean...

Abstract Purpose Preclinical evidence suggests that natural killer cell (NK-cell) function and myokines facilitate the protective effects of exercise for breast cancer prevention. Since higher-intensity acutely promotes greater mobilization larger changes in NK-cell cytotoxicity than lower-intensity, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) might offer increased immune protection compared to moderate-intensity continuous-training (MICT). This study a 12-week HIIT program MICT usual care on...

PurposeCardiotoxicities induced by cancer therapy can negatively affect quality of life and survival. We investigated whether high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) levels could serve as biomarker for early detection adverse events (CAEs) after chemoradiation (CRT) non-small cell lung (NSCLC).Methods MaterialsThis study included 225 patients who received concurrent platinum taxane-doublet chemotherapy with thoracic radiation to a total dose 60 74 Gy NSCLC.

Immunosenescence is described as age-associated changes within the immune system that are responsible for decreased immunity and increased cancer risk. Physically active individuals have fewer 'senescent' more naïve T-cells compared to their sedentary counterparts, but it not known if exercise training can rejuvenate 'older looking' T-cell profiles. We determined effects of 12-weeks supervised on frequency subtypes in peripheral blood relationships with circulating levels muscle-derived...
