Journal ArticleDOI
A population-based study of cardiovascular disease mortality risk in US cancer patients
Kathleen M. Sturgeon,Lei Deng,Shirley M. Bluethmann,Shouhao Zhou,Daniel M. Trifiletti,Changchuan Jiang,Scott P. Kelly,Nicholas G. Zaorsky,Nicholas G. Zaorsky +8 more
TL;DR: It is observed that from the point of cancer diagnosis forward into survivorship cancer patients (all sites) are at elevated risk of dying from CVDs compared to the general US population, supporting early involvement of cardiologists in such patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship of visit-to-visit and ambulatory blood pressure variability to vascular function in African Americans
Keith M. Diaz,Praveen Veerabhadrappa,Mohammed A. Kashem,Deborah L. Feairheller,Kathleen M. Sturgeon,Sheara T. Williamson,Deborah L. Crabbe,Michael D. Brown +7 more
TL;DR: BPV is increased in African Americans with decreased endothelial function and is associated with the vascular smooth muscle response to nitric oxide, according to a cohort of putatively healthy African Americans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tumor vessel normalization after aerobic exercise enhances chemotherapeutic efficacy
Keri Schadler,Nicholas J. Thomas,Peter A. Galie,Dong Ha Bhang,Kerry C. Roby,Prince Addai,Jacob Till,Kathleen M. Sturgeon,Alexander Zaslavsky,Christopher S. Chen,Sandra Ryeom +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that moderate aerobic exercise with chemotherapy caused a significantly greater decrease in tumor growth than chemotherapy alone through improved chemotherapy delivery after tumor vascular normalization, suggesting that the vascular normalizing effects of aerobic exercise can be an effective chemotherapy adjuvant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatal heart disease among cancer patients
Kelsey C. Stoltzfus,Ying Zhang,Kathleen M. Sturgeon,Lawrence I. Sinoway,Daniel M. Trifiletti,Vernon M. Chinchilli,Nicholas G. Zaorsky,Nicholas G. Zaorsky +7 more
TL;DR: Compared to other cancer patients, patients who are older, male, African American, and unmarried are at a greatest risk of fatal heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visit-to-visit and 24-h blood pressure variability: association with endothelial and smooth muscle function in African Americans
Keith M. Diaz,Keith M. Diaz,Praveen Veerabhadrappa,Mohammed A. Kashem,Sunny R. Thakkar,Deborah L. Feairheller,Deborah L. Feairheller,Kathleen M. Sturgeon,Chenyi Ling,Sheara T. Williamson,Jan Kretzschmar,Hojun Lee,Heather Grimm,Dianne M. Babbitt,Charmie Vin,Xiaoxuan Fan,Deborah L. Crabbe,Michael D. Brown +17 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that BP variability may influence the pathogenesis of CV disease, in part, through influences on vascular health.
