Radiation-induced valvular heart disease.
Radiation to the mediastinum is a key component of treatment with curative intent for a range of cancers including Hodgkin's lymphoma and breast cancer. Exposure to radiation is associated with a risk of radiation-induced heart valve damage characterised by valve fibrosis and calcification. There is a latent interval of 10-20 years between radiation exposure and development of clinically signif...

متن کاملRadiation-Induced Heart Disease: A Clinical Update
Cardiovascular diseases and cancer are the two leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Improvement in cancer therapy has led to increasing number of cancer survivors, some of whom may suffer from adverse cardiovascular effects of radiation therapy. Longterm followup is essential, as the cardiac complication may manifest years after completion of radiation therapy. In this paper, we...
متن کاملPentoxifylline and Radiation-Induced Heart Disease
Patients who receive radiotherapy for tumors in the chest may experience radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD). This late and potentially severe side effect of radiotherapy can occur if all or part of the heart lies in the radiation field. Patients particularly at risk include breast cancer patients previously treated with radiotherapy, lung cancer patients, lymphoma patients, and patients wit...
متن کاملPreclinical Research into Basic Mechanisms of Radiation-Induced Heart Disease
Radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD) is a potentially severe side effect of radiotherapy of thoracic and chest wall tumors if all or part of the heart was included in the radiation field. RIHD presents clinically several years after irradiation and manifestations include accelerated atherosclerosis, pericardial and myocardial fibrosis, conduction abnormalities, and injury to cardiac valves. T...
