Early reduction in cardiorespiratory fitness and diastolic reserve following radiation therapy for lung cancer

Early reduction in cardiorespiratory fitness and diastolic reserve following radiation therapy for lung cancer

Abstract Background Contemporary radiotherapy for the treatment of lung cancer is effective in targeting tumor tissue while limiting heart exposure, yet cardiac toxicity still occurs, often becoming clinically apparent years later. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is an independent predictor of cardi...
