| Summary: | During the last decade in Russian clinics significant success in treatment of children with Hodgkin lymphoma has been reached. However, the using of doxorubicin in combination with mediastinal radiotherapy in cases of initial mediastinum involvement contributes to cardiomyopathy occurrence in different time from ending therapy. We have evaluated the cardiac status in 42 children with Hodgkin lymphoma after chemoradiotherapy. Evaluation of cardiac function was performed using standard M-mode echocardiography (with calculation ejection fraction- EF, left ventricular shortening fraction — FS) and electrocardiography with estimation of rate, rhythm and QTc duration. Reduced contractility was detected in 5 (11.9 %) children after chemoradiotherapy, that requires cardiac function monitoring and cardiologist’s consultation. |
