Abstract
Cardiac complications can occur long after chest radiotherapy. We describe a patient who developed both valve disease and complete heart block at different intervals following radiotherapy for Hodgkin's disease. The combined presentation of these two very rare cardiac complications and surgery for radiation-induced tricuspid valve disease have not been described before.
