Abstract

Objective: Although the introduction of radiation therapy for the management of thoracic malignancies has led to a significant improvement in disease-specific survival, this has resulted in the emergence of a new spectrum of cardiovascular disorders induced by radiation injury. Heart rate recovery, as a predictor of cardiovascular events and an indicator of autonomic functions, is measured non-invasively and easily. In the present study, we investigated the effects of mediastinal radiotherapy on heart rate recovery parameters.
