Radiation-induced heart disease in rats.
Int. J. Radiat. Oncol. Biol. Phys. 11, 801-808 (1985)
After local irradiation of the rat heart with X ray doses of over 10 Gy (single doses), animals developed symptoms of radiation-induced heart disease, which at higher doses would lead to fatal cardiac failure. The LD 50 at 1 year was between 15 Gy and 20 Gy. The pericardium and epicardium responded to irradiation with exudative pericarditis after 4 months. Focal myocardial damage was secondary to progressive capillary damage.
