Abbreviations: BC = breast cancer, CVD = cardiovascular disease.
Values are the mean (95% CI) and percentage (95% CI) for continuous and categorical variables, respectively.
Cardiovascular disease status was determined based on self-reported medical conditions that were told by a doctor or other health professionals.
The prevalence of breast cancer survivors by the number of cardiovascular diseases reported.
Breast cancer survivors who already had pre-existing cardiovascular diseases before diagnosed with breast cancer.
Weighted % indicates the proportion within each subgroup (pre-existing or post-acquired cardiovascular diseases groups).
Breast cancer survivors who acquired the cardiovascular diseases after diagnosed with breast cancer.
The time elapsed until they were first diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases after they were diagnosed with breast cancer.
When multiple CVDs were reported, the CVD diagnosed first was used to calculate average years.
