Impact of Radiation Therapy on Diastolic Function and Cardiac Troponin I Levels in Cancer Patients Undergoing Contemporary Radiotherapy.

The cardiac RT group showed numerically lower diastolic indices that did not reach statistical significance, including E/A ratio (0.70 [0.70–0.90] vs. 0.80 [0.70–1.00]; P=0.399) and septal e′ velocity (6.00 [4.80–8.10] vs. 6.50 [5.40–7.60] cm/s; P=0.452), whereas other parameters, including average E/e′ ratio, were comparable between groups.
