Radiation-associated cardiovascular disease, an increasingly recognised disease process, is a significant adverse effect of radiation therapy for common malignancies that involve the chest, and include lymphomas, lung, mediastinal and breast cancers. Two factors contribute to the increasing incidence of radiation-associated cardiovascular disease: advances in malignancy detection and the improved survival of cancer patients, by which many symptoms of radiation-associated cardiovascular disease, specifically radiation-associated arrhythmias, present years and/or decades following initial radiotherapy. We present a focused overview of the currently understood pathophysiology, prevalence and management strategies of radiation-associated arrhythmias, which include bradyarrhythmias, tachyarrhythmias and autonomic dysfunction.
辐射相关的心血管疾病是一种日益受到认可的疾病过程,是胸部常见恶性肿瘤放射治疗的一种重大不良反应,这些恶性肿瘤包括淋巴瘤、肺癌、纵隔癌和乳腺癌。两个因素导致辐射相关心血管疾病的发病率上升:恶性肿瘤检测技术的进步以及癌症患者生存率的提高,由此许多辐射相关心血管疾病的症状,特别是辐射相关心律失常,在初次放疗后的数年和/或数十年出现。我们重点概述了目前所了解的辐射相关心律失常的病理生理学、患病率和管理策略,其中包括缓慢性心律失常、快速性心律失常和自主神经功能障碍。
