Relationship Between Urinary Uranium and Cardiac Geometry and Left Ventricular Function
Urinary uranium levels were adversely associated with measures of cardiac geometry and LV function among American Indian adults, including increases in pulse pressure and LV hypertrophy. These findings support the need to determine the potential long-term subclinical and clinical cardiovascular effects of chronic uranium exposure, and the need for future strategies to reduce exposure.
