DNA damage response in vascular endothelial senescence: Implication for radiation-induced cardiovascular diseases
29 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
A post-exposure cohort study in Hiroshima and Nagasaki reported that low-dose exposure to radiation heightened the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), such as stroke and myocardial infarction, by 14-18% per Gy.
