  Introduction: Worries about therapy related cardiotoxicities in bosom malignant growth patients are developing. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and arrhythmia in breast cancer patients based on time and treatment. Methods: In a register-based matched cohort study, Stockholm-Gotland breast cancer patients diagnosed between 2001 and 2008 were compared to matched controls from the general population for their time-dependent risks of arrhythmia, heart failure, and ischemic heart disease using flexible parametric models. Breast cancer patients' treatment-specific effects were estimated using the Cox model.
