Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Circulatory Disease From Exposure to Low-Level Ionizing Radiation and Estimates of Potential Population Mortality Risks Abstract

Background: Although high doses of ionizing radiation have long been linked to circulatory disease, evidence for an association at lower exposures remains controversial. However, recent analyses suggest excess relative risks at occupational exposure levels.

Objectives: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize information on circulatory disease risks associated with moderate-and low-level whole-body ionizing radiation exposures. .....
Conclusions: Our review supports an association between circulatory disease mortality and low and moderate doses of ionizing radiation. .... http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/773941

How Low Doses Of Radiation Can Cause Heart Disease And Stroke

Oct. 23, 2009 — A mathematical model constructed by researchers at Imperial College London predicts the risk of cardiovascular disease (heart attacks, stroke) associated with low background levels of radiation. The model shows that the risk would vary almost in proportion with dose.
