Sammanfattning
Cardiovascular complications following thoracic radiotherapy in patients with cancer are well described. Advancements in surgery,
radiotherapy and systemic treatments have led to an increasing number of cancer survivors and thus an increasing number of patients with
long-term side effects of their cancer treatments. This article describes the short- and long-term cardiovascular morbidity and mortality
following thoracic radiotherapy and further, optimal cardiovascular assessments and diagnostic tools in asymptomatic and symptomatic
patients.
