Abstract
Irradiation causes atheromatotic changes in the coronary arteries, leading to occlusion of these vessels. In two out of ten animals, E.C.G. changes were found, which were characteristic for a myocardial infarct. This was confirmed at necropsy. One example is given of a young patient in whom radiotherapy was the cause of fatal pulmonary and myocardial fibrosis.
