[Depending on exposure, functional state of left ventricle in combined cardiovascular disease among chronic uranium intoxication patients].

ABSTRACT

State of left heart contractility in patients having IHD and AH during long-term period of chronic uranium intoxication depends on duration of exposure to toxic radiation factor. The authors revealed left ventricle myocardium weight decreased by 11.7% on exposure up to 10 years and that decreased by 18.9% on the exposure over 10 years, when compared to the reference group. Longer length of service was connected with higher share of patients with pathologic remodelling of left ventricle, mostly due to increased concentric remodelling.
