The problem of radioinduced damage of the myocardium after irradiation of the heart region for mammary carcinoma or intrathoracic tumors is discussed. Analysis of patient material, including 34 cases with mammary carcinomas on the left side and 14 cases with intrathoracic tumors, showed considerable ECG-changes (ECG = electrocardiogram) in 18 and in 6 cases, respectively. Because of these results, it is assumed that damage of the myocardium caused by irradiation is possible during tangential irradiation of mammary carcinomas on the left side. This could be of importance in the future wellbeing of the patients. (auth)
