Effects of x radiation on the canine heart
Journal Article
·
· Radiat. Res.; (United States)
Ten dogs received a single exposure of 10 MeV x rays to the heart. Five dogs received 1500 rad to the midline and five received 1000 rad. When the dogs expired or were killed 73 to 85 days after irradiation, their hearts were examined pathologicaly. The changes most frequently observed were pericardial effusion in the right atrium, myocardial necrosis, and fibrosis. The data suggest that under the conditions of this experiment, irradiation of the canine heart causes greatest damage to the right atrium.
