Differences in Radiation-Induced Heart Dysfunction in Male Versus Female Rats

CONCLUSION: Together, these results illustrate that there are differences in radiation-induced cardiotoxicity between male and female SS rats and add to data that lung radiation doses may play an important role in cardiac dysfunction following heart radiation exposure. These factors may be important to factor into future mitigation studies of radiation-induced cardiotoxicity.PMID:36971580 | DOI:10.1080/09553002.2023.2194404
