Incidence of cardiovascular events in the decade after a diagnosis of nonmetastatic breast cancer. Results from the Breast, Sarcopenia, Cancer and Near-Term Survival study (n = 2, 943). Overall, the cumulative incidence of cardiovascular disease increased steadily, exceeding 15% by year 10 of follow-up (A; cumulative incidence at year 10 = 0.15 [95% CI, 0.14 to 0.17]). Cardiovascular disease incidence was highest for women in the highest tertile of visceral (B; Gray’s test P = .01), subcutaneous (C; Gray’s test P = .01), and intramuscular (D; Gray’s test P ≤ .001) adiposity.
