Socioeconomic status and left ventricular ejection fraction decline in breast cancer survivors following receipt of doxorubicin (PREVENT WF-98213) by Arnethea L. Sutton, Nathaniel S. O’Connell, Alexander R. Lucas, Kristine C. Olson, Kerryn W. Reding, Vanessa B. Sheppard, Bonnie Ky, Kathryn J. Ruddy, Kathryn E. Weaver, W. Gregory Hundley

“…However, six months following treatment, survivors who were unemployed for reasons other than retirement and disability experienced greater LVEF declines compared to survivors who were employed ((b = 2.79 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.37–5.20; p = 0.026). Our study demonstrated that non-clinical factors associated with social drivers of health, such as socioeconomic status, contribute to subclinical cardiovascular dysfunction and therefore supports further investigation of mechanisms behind these associations. …”
