Abstract:
Worldwide, people are being exposed to natural and man-made sources of radiation. Epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk of vascular diseases in populations that have been exposed to ionizing radiation. Vascular endothelium is implicated as one of the targets for radiation leading to the development of cardiovascular diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms behind the development of radiation-induced cardiovascular disease in acute or chronic exposed people are not fully elucidated. The hypothesis that chronic low dose rate ionizing radiation accelerates the onset of senescence of primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells has been tested . Therefore, the study aimed to find out the relationship between radiation, heart disease, the devices used for diagnosis, and their relationship to increasing the risk of diseases from various aspects.
