Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Cardiac substructure radiation dose vs whole heart metrics as predictors of cardiac outcomes
- Dose to coronary arteries, LV and pulmonary veins strongly predicts ischemia, HF and arrhythmia endpoints, respectively, compared to whole heart metrics
- Integration of cardiac radiation dose thresholds into actionable guidance in current cardio-oncology guidelines remains limited
