To determine the impact of 10 Gy total body irradiation (TBI) or local thorax irradiation, a dose relevant to a radiological terrorist threat, on lipid and liver profile, coronary microvasculature and ventricular function. WAG/RijCmcr rats received 10 Gy TBI followed by bone marrow transplantation, or 10 Gy local thorax irradiation. Age-matched, non-irradiated rats served as controls. The lipid profile and liver enzymes, coronary vessel morphology, nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms, protease activated receptor (PAR)-1 expression and fibrinogen levels were compared. Two dimensional strain echocardiography assessed global radial and circumferential strain on the heart. TBI resulted in a sustained increase in total and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (190±8 vs. 58±6; 82±8 vs. 13±3 mg/dL, respectively). The density of small coronary arterioles was decreased by 32%. Histology revealed complete blockage of some vessels while cardiomyocytes remained normal. TBI resulted in cellular peri-arterial fibrosis whereas control hearts had symmetrical penetrating vessels with less collagen and fibroblasts. TBI resulted in a 32±4% and 28±3% decrease in endothelial NOS and inducible NOS protein respectively, and a 21±4% and 35±5% increase in fibrinogen and PAR-1 protein respectively, after 120 days. TBI reduced radial strain (19±8 vs. 46±7%) and circumferential strain (-8±3 vs. −15±3%) compared to controls. Thorax-only irradiation produced no changes over the same time frame. TBI with 10 Gy, a dose relevant to radiological terrorist threats, worsened lipid profile, injured coronary microvasculature, altered endothelial physiology and myocardial mechanics. These changes were not manifest with local thorax irradiation. Non-thoracic circulating factors may be promoting radiation-induced injury to the heart.
