Acute chromosomal DNA damage in human lymphocytes after radiation exposure in invasive cardiovascular procedures
28 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: We evaluated whether radiation exposure during interventional cardiovascular procedures can induce damage to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). METHODS AND RESULTS: Micronucleus assay (MN) was performed as biomarker of chromosomal damage and intermediate endpoint in carcinogenesis. Seventy-two patients (54 males, age = 63.8 +/- 10.5 years) undergoing a wide range of radiation exposure during invasive...
