Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Radiation-induced cardiomyopathy has become a significant clinical challenge with the increased use of thoracic radiation therapy. Recent technological advancements in radiation therapy, such as 3D conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT), intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), and proton therapy, have decreased cardiac exposure. Additional methods including multileaf collimation (MLC) cardiac shields, patient prone positioning, and the deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) technique further mitigate the effects of radiation on the heart. Post-therapy cardiac screening is crucial for timely intervention. Furthermore, the antioxidant properties of certain medications and herbal supplements may counteract radiation-induced oxidative stress. Notably, statins, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, and natural products have demonstrated protective effects against radiation-induced cellular damage. This review article explores RIC pathophysiology, clinical implications, and management strategies to enhance early detection, treatment, and prevention.

We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.
Peter Dunn, Director of Press and Media Relations at the University of Warwick
AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
