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