Article Synopsis
- Heart failure (HF) is a serious health issue that is becoming more common and isn't easy to treat.
- Even though experts know that food and nutrition are important for people with HF, there aren't enough clear diet guidelines for them yet.
- This review looks at different diets and eating habits to see how they might help people with HF, suggesting that personalized diet plans could make a big difference in how patients feel and recover.
Background: Rapidly dividing cells are more sensitive to radiation therapy (RT) than quiescent cells. In the failing myocardium, macrophages and fibroblasts mediate collateral tissue injury, leading to progressive myocardial remodeling, fibrosis, and pump failure. Because these cells divide more rapidly than cardiomyocytes, we hypothesized that macrophages and fibroblasts would be more susceptible to lower doses of radiation and that cardiac radiation could therefore attenuate myocardial remodeling.
