Radiation-induced myocarditis
Description
Myocardium is more resistant to radiations than pericardium. Radiation-induced pericarditis are well-known, but the possibility of myocarditis induced by radiotherapy must also be considered. Experimental data are provided, but clinical experience is limited. A case is presented, which is of interest because of its clinical picture: congestive myocarditis
Abstract (French)
Alors que les pericardites provoquees par la radiotherapie sont bien connues, le myocarde est tres resistant a l'action des rayons: la myocardite radiotherapique semble cependant reelle. Elle a ete reproduite experimentalement, mais les observations cliniques qu'il est possible de prendre en consideration sont tres peu nombreuses. Celle qui est presentee a l'interet d'offrir un tableau clinique particulier: celui d'une myocardiopathie congestiveAdditional details
