3-Year Follow-Up of Radiation-Associated Changes in Diastolic Function by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography
(06 / 2021)
articleBackground: Radiation therapy (RT) results in myocardial changes consisting of diffuse fibrosis, which may result in changes in diastolic function. Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore RT-associated changes in ... -
Dynamic Integrated Backscatter Detects Radiotherapy-induced Cardiac Changes Better than Strain Analysis : A Prospective Three-year Study
(2022)
articleBACKGROUND/AIM: Radiotherapy (RT) related myocardial changes were analyzed by deformation imaging echocardiography in this study. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Ninety-nine breast cancer patients were studied at baseline, after ... -
A Higher Mean Heart Radiation Dose Induces Higher Frequency of Multiple Cardiac Changes
(05 / 2022)
articleBACKGROUND/AIM: Radiotherapy (RT) induces late changes in all cardiac structures. Most studies of early changes focus on individual parameters. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Data from eighty early-stage breast cancer patients at ... -
Radiotherapy-induced diffuse myocardial fibrosis in early-stage breast cancer patients – multimodality imaging study with six-year follow-up
(07 / 2023)
articleBackground: Breast radiotherapy (RT) induces diffuse myocardial changes, which may increase the incidence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. This study aimed to evaluate the early signs of diffuse fibrosis ... -
Risk profile, antithrombotic treatment and clinical outcomes of patients in Nordic countries with atrial fibrillation : results from the GARFIELD-AF registry
(2021)
articleAIMS: The objective was to evaluate the clinical characteristics, management and two-year outcomes of patients with newly diagnosed non-valvular atrial fibrillation at risk for stroke in Nordic countries. METHODS: We ... -
Troponin T-release associates with cardiac radiation doses during adjuvant left-sided breast cancer radiotherapy
(2015)
articleBackground Adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) for left-sided breast cancer increases cardiac morbidity and mortality. For the heart, no safe radiation threshold has been established. Troponin T is a sensitive marker of myocardial ...
