Radiotherapy is extensively used in the treatment of Hodgkin’s disease. One of its untoward effects is on heart. Coronary arteries and heart valves can be adversely affected from radiotherapy. However, co-existence of both conditions is very rare. In this report, we present a patient with Hodgkin’s disease who developed both coronary artery stenosis and severe mitral valve regurgitation after radiotherapy.
