High radiation exposure among male radiologists has been reported to result in a significantly higher proportion of female offspring. This study examined whether work-related radiation exposure was associated with a higher propensity for female offspring among male interventional cardiologists. On behalf of the interventional committee of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, an Internet-based questionnaire was sent to the society's 2063 members. The 402 male respondents had a total of 518 biological offspring; 48.6% of them were female. Among the 172 high-volume male diagnostic operators (those who performed >300 cases annually), there were 218 biological offspring, of whom 46.8% were female. Among the 59 high-volume male interventional operators, there were 70 biological offspring, of whom 45.7% were female. P values were nonsignificant for all three groups. In conclusion, work-related radiation exposure of male invasive and interventional cardiologists was not associated with a statistically significant preponderance of female offspring.
据报道，男性放射科医生的高辐射暴露会导致女性后代的比例显著更高。本研究调查了男性介入心脏病专家的工作相关辐射暴露是否与女性后代的更高倾向有关。代表心血管造影和介入学会的介入委员会，向该学会的2063名成员发送了一份基于互联网的问卷。402名男性受访者共有518个亲生孩子；其中48.6%为女性。在172名高工作量男性诊断操作人员（每年进行超过300例手术的人员）中，有218个亲生孩子，其中46.8%为女性。在59名高工作量男性介入操作人员中，有70个亲生孩子，其中45.7%为女性。三组的P值均无统计学意义。总之，男性侵入性和介入性心脏病专家的工作相关辐射暴露与女性后代在统计学上的显著优势无关。
