What specific harm does nuclear radiation have on our hearts?
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for the majority of global deaths. Radiation heart damage is one of the side effects of exposure to ionizing radiation . Exposure can come from many forms, such as diagnostic imaging, radiation therapy for cancer treatment, and nuclear disasters and accidents.
One of the side effects of infrared exposure is radiation-induced heart disease (radiation-induced heart damage). Radiation heart damage may occur in the form of coronary artery disease, pericarditis, cardiomyopathy and myocardial fibrosis, pericardial effusion or contraction, ischemia, heart valve disease, arrhythmia, etc.
Although these complications may occur in patients receiving radiotherapy for various malignancies in the thoracic and mediastinal regions, such as lung cancer, a significant proportion of complications have been observed in patients with left breast cancer who received thoracic radiation.
This is not surprising given the close distance between the left breast and the heart. Increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI) compared with radiotherapy for left breast cancer. The dose-limiting consequences of these complications can negatively impact the therapeutic efficacy of radiation therapy for thoracic malignancies.
A typical example is radiation exposure from nuclear accidents, bomb explosions, and radiation disasters. Years after the Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Chernobyl disasters, some survivors experienced symptoms of radiation heart damage. These side effects can negatively affect the blood supply to the heart muscle, leading to an increased risk of heart attack in irradiated individuals.
Methods that can prevent radiation-induced heart damage
include Danhong, Samyang Xuedai, Cordyceps sinensis, Salvia, curcumin, saponin, saponin, modified calcium sugar, Campanulaceae , linseed oil, coriander Oil,Blueberry Anthocyanins - Rich Extract.
Hesperidin
Hesperetin (hesperetin-7-rhamnoside) is a bioflavonoid found in citrus fruits such as tangerines, oranges, lemons and grapes, as well as in plant extracts such as tea and olive oil . Hesperidin has antibacterial, anticancer, capillary fragility reduction, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Hesperidin treatment after irradiation significantly improved lipid peroxidation, decreased protein carbonyl levels, decreased cathepsin D levels, decreased xanthine oxidase activity, and prevented severe damage to the myocardium , and increased glutathione (GSH) content and antioxidant levels in the heart, in a dose-dependent manner, preventing radiation-induced cardiac injury.
Curcumin
Also known as diferroylmethane, is the main natural polyphenol found in the rhizome of turmeric (turmeric). and other turmeric plants. It is commonly used in Indian traditional medicine and traditional Chinese medicine.
It has abilities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic, anti-microbial, and anti-cancer. The anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin are responsible for its anti-radiation effects, while its anti-cancer properties make it a suitable radiosensitizer to prevent radiation-induced cardiac damage.
Melatonin
Melatonin is a hormone secreted in large quantities in the pineal gland, which has biological and endocrine functions such as circadian regulation of mood, sleep, sexual progress and reproduction, immune activity, aging, etc. In plants, melatonin can be found in grains, olives, walnuts, tomatoes, pineapples, ginger, beans, etc.
Melatonin varies with time of day in the body, with its peak secretion and lowest concentration at night. Melatonin has anti-apoptotic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory,Tumor susceptibility and neuroprotective ability.
Clinical studies have shown promise in its use leading to radiation therapy for the prevention of complications such as dermatitis and oral mucositis, and more prevention of radiation heart damage.
