No detectable early subclinical cardiotoxicity within 12 weeks of thoracic radiotherapy under predominantly low cardiac dose exposure: a prospective cohort study
Early radiation-induced cardiac injury in patients receiving thoracic radiotherapy (RT) remains insufficiently characterized. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) and circulating biomarkers such as high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) may detect subclinical...
