A Cancer Paradox: Machine-Learning Backed Propensity-Score Analysis of Coronary Angiography Findings in Cardio-Oncology.

Cancer patients are more likely than non-cancer patients to undergo CA for reasons other than suspicion of CAD. Further studies should prospectively analyze the impact of cancer on the development of CAD. PMID: 30611123 [PubMed - in process]
