Evaluation of Cardiac Function After Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Lung Tumors: Results of the Prospective Explorative Heart-Lung Study

Purpose Several studies show associations between cardiac radiation dose and cardiac morbidity or overall survival. To evaluate cardiac toxicity of radiation therapy in the absence of another cardiotoxic agent, we set up a prospective pilot study evaluating cardiac function using a wide range of diagnostic modalities i...
