The overall objective of this proposal is to determine the utility of sensitive imaging and biomarker measures in detecting subclinical cardiotoxicity across a spectrum of radiation doses to the heart. We will focus specifically on patients receiving photon or proton chest radiotherapy. Our broad working hypothesis is that RT induces early, subclinical CV injury, as evidenced by cardiomyocyte inflammation and necrosis, and worsening CV function.
264 studies on the registry are indexed under Cardiotoxicity; 71 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 147 is above the median of 100 across 125 observational studies indexed under Cardiotoxicity.
