more than 3.8 million survivors live in the united states and early detection and treatment have saved many lives, but those treatments can increase a woman's risk of cardiovascular disease. in fact, it's heart disease, not cancer reoccurrence, that's the number one cause of death for breast cancer survivors and women overall. dr. narula joins us with more on this. a lot of people would be surprised to hear this, tara. good morning. >> good morning, gayle. 10% of breast cancer patient, the same chemotherapy and radiation treatments that zap cancer cells can damage the heart. it can happen during treatment or years after ward. now an emerging field called cardiooncology has evolved to protect the hearts of patients both during and after treatment to make sure they live full lives after defeating cancer. >> four months into her fight against stage 2 breast cancer, andrea chinfrani learned she had a new health challenge to conquer. >> it really did feel like another punch, you know, where

8:15 am
improve their cancer outcomes as they survive, but to improve their cardiovascular outcomes as they age. >> breast cancer treatment puts the heart at risk in several ways. chemotherapy can damage the heart muscle that pumps blood, leading to heart failure and radiation can disrupt normal heart rhythm and damage both the lining around the heart and the heart valves. but the biggest risk from radiation is the development of early and accelerated coronary artery disease which raises the risk of heart attack. while some women have no symptoms and others experience shortness of breath, chest pain or decreased ability to exercise. >> what we should not be telling our patients is don't get the very treatments that mach you be make you beat the cancer in the first place. >> he directs the cardiooncology program at vanderbilt university. >> the treatments are effective, but now the issue is how do we give the drugs more safely, but how do we prevent heart disease that can develop as a result of the very treatments that save

8:22 am
chief meteorologist at climate central and joins us now. bernadette, good morning. >> good morning. >> the original projections were already frightening and now the new projection, even more concerning and why the change? >> thank you for having me here to talk about this very important subject and this is a nice piece of the puzzle in understanding how climate change is affecting the people, places and things that we love. what we did with this study is we looked at land beneath our feet. sea level rise projections in the past were based on this wonderful global data set from nasa, but what it did was read our land as the satellite went around the earth and what that land was reading was trees, buildings and the land that was way above where we actually walk. so when we were able to correct this elevation data set it brought land closer to where we live so when you have the same amount of water and land went from here to here, we're a lot more at risk. >> what are the most vulnerable
8:23 am
areas in the snuz. >> in the u.s. our data set has not changed that much because we have a robust, wonderful scientific system and it's more refined. so we already know major areas at risk as we show louisiana, florida, all of the entire southeast coast and we saw just this past month with king tides, water coming up with no storm system from virginia, new jersey, all of the way up into boston. >> the reason this matters, two americans and if people are displaced and that creates conflicts and that creates wars for resources and u.s. military involvement could follow and instability is bad for global security here at home. i noticed that asia seems to be particularly hard hit. why? >> well, one of the reasons it is so highly populated and there's a lot of low-level ground and with population levels so high and not much protection there, you already are seeing those are some of the places already at risk and when you correct this data set it just raises those numbers off the charts.
8:24 am
>> so now that you've scared the bejesus out of us, can you explain what's happening and what to do? >> nimy goal is not to scare yo but to inform you. this is what we are looking fat we don't make changes and we have the opportunity to make changes and compare it to a diet. even if you choose to eat healthy it will take a while to see the impacts on your body. >> yes. >> our greenhouse gasses stay on for thousands and hundreds of years, and change to cleaner energy and electric transport. make refined ways of making our buildings and heating systems and lighting systems and focus on our farming and agriculture where we have some opportunities with our soils. >> i cannot personally redefine our electricity system, but i think what you're saying is people can vote for people who do? >> that is one of the ways. >> i thought it was funny, doesn't it drive you crazy when people don't understand climate change, and yeah, like my dad. >> that's right. >> you deal with it even in your
