MEDiastinal Irradiation and CArdio-Toxic Effects (MEDICATE): Exploring the Relationship between Cardiac Irradiation and High Sensitivity Troponins
Abstract
AIMS: Radiation-induced heart disease is a late effect of cardiac irradiation and has been shown in patients with lymphoma and thoracic cancers. There is no established measurement tool to detect acute cardiac damage. However, high sensitivity troponin I and T (HsTnI and HsTnT) and echocardiograms have shown promise in some studies. A pilot trial was conducted to characterise whether these instruments may detect subclinical radiotherapy-induced …
