Downward-pointing arrow (↓) indicates a decrease; upward-pointing arrow (↑) indicates an increase; and sideways-pointing arrow (↔) indicates no change. ASCC indicates adult survivors of childhood cancer; CAD, coronary artery disease; CRF, cardiorespiratory fitness; CVD, cardiovascular disease; and LVEF, left ventricle ejection fraction.
