Heart images may indicate upcoming cancer
An American study has identified a link between early changes in heart structure and the risk of developing certain types of cancer. Researchers observed that an increase in the muscle mass of the left ventricle and impaired movement of the left atrium are associated with a higher likelihood of breast and colon cancer. This conclusion was reached after long-term follow-up of more than 6,000 individuals aged between 45 and 84 years. The findings underscore the importance of cardiac imaging scans in identifying those most at risk for cancer, while also noting that the relationship does not establish a direct causal connection between the two.
