  • Title: Unusual cardiac reaction to chemotherapy following mediastinal irradiation in a patient with Hodgkin's disease.
    Author: Weinstein P, Greenwald ES, Grossman J.
    Journal: Am J Med; 1976 Jan; 60(1):152-6. PubMed ID: 1251843.
    Abstract:
    A 27 year old man with Hodgkin's disease experienced three separate episodes of chest pain, each occurring on the sixth day of a cycle of mustargen, oncovin, procarbazine, prednisone (MOPP) combination chermotherapy. The first episode appeared to represent a myocardial infarction, whereas the next two were less serious. Numerous studies were performed including coronary angiography, cardiac catheterization and open pericardial biopsy. It is suggested that the patient represents an example of a previously undescribed syndrome due to chemotherapy administered after cardiac irradiation.
