摘要: Abstract The pericardium, a double-layered sac that encloses the heart, is made up of collagen and elastin fibres embedded in an amorphous matrix (forming extracellular matrix). Collagen are aligned multidirectional orientation layers. This free arrangement gives pericardium its viscoelastic properties ability to deform all directions. important mechanical property for heart perform physiological functions, acknowledging fact attached different ligaments muscles present study aims investigate effect penetrating photon ionising radiation on bovine tissue. links interest seeking understand possible mechanisms underlying cardiac complications following treatment left breast radiotherapy regimes. Pericardium samples were subjected doses range 0–80 Gy. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been applied characterising changes infrastructural tissues. Preliminary data 80 Gy shows there was no significant change D-spacing period banded structure type I but increase observed FWHM fibril widths (by between 25% 27%) over unirradiated
