ABSTRACT

Breast Cancer (BC) survivors are at increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in breast cancer survivors to identify multilevel barriers and facilitators to CV risk reduction among BC survivors. BC survivorship status was found to impact CV risk perception, barriers to risk reduction, and cues to action.
