A case of 32-year old male with congestive heart failure and pleural effusion was described. When he was seven years old, he suffered from Hodgkin's disease and radiotherapy of the mediastinum and the neck was instituted. Twenty years later he developed acute myocardial infarction and then two episodes of circulatory arrest. The examinations revealed extensive, calcified stenoses of the coronary and cervical arteries. Risk factors of atheromatosis were absent. Moreover, the diagnosis of pleural mesothelioma which could also be caused by irradiation, was established.
