Abstract

We evaluated the effectiveness of visual feedback (VF) on radiotherapy with deep inspiration breath-holding (DIBH), and reviewed the dose for organs at risk (OARs). Respiratory motions during DIBH for 15 s were monitored during planning computed tomography (CT)-scanning and simulation for 40 patients after breast-conserving surgery from June 2007 to February 2008. For 22 of 40 patients, a goggle-type liquid crystal display monitor was used for VF. The opposing tangential field was planned. The prescribed dose was 50.0 Gy in 25 fractions. The mean differences of the chest wall respiratory movement in DIBH between planning CT-scanning and simulation were 4.7 ± 2.6 mm for the patients without VF and 1.0 ± 0.9 mm for those with VF (p < 0.01). The mean chest wall excursion as a whole in DIBH using VF (2.0 ± 1.0 mm) was smaller than in those without VF (4.1 ± 2.4 mm) (p < 0.01). According to reproducibility and stability parameters, 4 mm was added as a posterior margin to the clinical target volume for RT with VF, and 10 mm for those without VF. The mean heart doses were 1.3 ± 0.5 Gy with VF and 2.4 ± 1.1 Gy without VF (p < 0.01). Mean dose and max dose of right breast were significantly reduced in procedures with VF use vs. in those...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Cardiotoxicity

Cardiotoxicity refers to the muscle damage or dysfunction of heart electrophysiology caused by drug intake or due to disease complications. It is a well-known side effect of several cytotoxic drugs, especially of the anthracyclines and can lead to long term morbidity. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiovascular Risk Prediction

Cardiovascular risk prediction models based on classical risk factors identified in epidemiological studies are useful in primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in individuals. Here is the latest research.
