Abstract:
Cardiovascular disease caused by radiotherapy(RT)is the most common cause of non-neoplastic death in cancer patients.Having advantages of dynamic observation and no radiation,echocardiography has been widely used in evaluating heart structure and function of patients after RT,which has become the preferred imaging method for screening,diagnosing and monitoring radiation-induced heart disease(RIHD).The research progresses of echocardiography in evaluating RIHD were reviewed in this article.
