Abstract
Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma survivors treated with mediastinal irradiation with or without chemotherapy showed a higher presence, greater severity, larger extent and more proximally located CAD compared with age, gender and risk factor matched non-irradiated controls. These findings represent features of higher risk CAD and may explain the worse cardiovascular outcome after chest irradiation.
