Abstract
Cancer survivors are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related morbidity and mortality. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves CVD risk factors, including cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and may improve cardiovascular outcomes among patients with comorbid cancer and CVD. The impact of improvements in CRF on survivorship among patients with cancer attending CR has not been investigated. This study aimed to: (1) characterize the impact of CR program completion on survival, and (2) explore whether improvements in CRF translate to increased survival among patients with comorbid cancer and CVD.
