Abstract

Ischemia-like electrocardiographical changes were observed in a diabetic case who had received adjuvant radiotherapy to the left chest wall after mastectomy. The skin on the radiotherapy field was erythemateus, hyperemic and tender on palpation, and the patient did not have chest pain. The possibility of an atypical presentation of cardiac disease in a diabetic woman was investigated and cardiac ischemia was excluded by coronary angiography. Ischemia-like electrocardiographical changes have been observed after burns of the chest wall. In this case also, the etiology was thought to be related with the burn effect of the radiotherapy on the chest wall. Although the late cardiac effects of the radiotherapy on the left chest wall were reported in the literature, the early and reversible effects were not sufficiently studied. We started a prospective study in our clinic to evaluate the early electrocardiographical changes after radiotherapy.

Özet

Meme kanseri sebebiyle mastektomi yapıldıktan sonra sol göğüs duvarına adjuvan radyoterapi alan bir diyabetik olguda iskemi ile uyumlu geçici elektrokardiyografi bulguları gözlenmiştir. Radyoterapi alanında cildi eritemli, hiperemik ve hassas olan olgunun göğüs ağrısı olmamıştır. Bununla birlikte diyabetik bir bayanda atipik bir tablo ihtimali dikkate alınarak, koroner anjiyografi ile kardiyak iskemi ekarte edilmiştir. Göğüs duvarı yanıkları sonrasında iskemi ile uyumlu elektrokardiyografik değişiklikler gelişebilmektedir. Bu olguda da sebebin radyoterapinin göğüs duvarındaki yakıcı etkisi olduğu düşünülmüştür. Literatürde sol göğüs duvarına uygulanan radyoterapinin geç kardiyak etkileri araştırılmış olmakla birlikte erken ve geçici etkiler yeterince irdelenmemiştir. Radyoterapi sonrası erken dönemde gelişen elektrokardiyografik değişikliklerin tanımlanması amacıyla kliniğimizde prospektif bir çalışma başlatılmıştır.
