Pediheart Podcast #77 Replay: Risk for Cancer Amongst Those With Congenital Heart Disease

Summary: This week we replay an episode reviewing a large administrative database study from Sweden on risk for cancer amongst patients with CHD. Why are cancer rates different in the CHD patient? What are the most important factors? What actions should be taken by cardiologists caring for ACHD patients in order to properly screen for cancer? We discuss these issues with Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School, Dr. Michelle Gurvitz. doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2019.6782
