Outline of Final Research Achievements

We analyzed the association between a history of cancer and cardiovascular disease prognosis from registry data.
We submitted papers about mortality of venous thromboembolism and a history of cancer, and mortality of acute myocardial infarction and a history of cancer. We also analyzed about mortality of heart failure and vitamin D preparations, mortality of heart failure and the number of institutional echocardiograms, mortality of venous thromboembolism and types of anticoagulants, and mortality of heart failure and types of cardioprotective drugs, and submitted papers on these topics. We presented our research at a symposium of the Japanese Society of Cardiology and at international conferences.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

近年，高齢化やがん治療の進歩に伴いがん生存者が増加する一方で，がん疾患自体やがん治療が循環器疾患の生命予後を悪化させると報告されている．実臨床の情報が他領域に比べると乏しく，研究の多くは欧米で行われており， がんの種類や頻度が欧米と異なる本邦でも適応できるか明らかでない．本研究の目的は，本邦におけるがんと循環器疾患との関連性について解析し，入院中死亡や入院期間，心血管イベントの増加に影響を与えているかを調査することであった．
