Found this article very interesting but slightly confusing since the myriad of cardiac conditions I now have, including AF (better now after 1 cardio version and 2 ablations), pulmonary hypertension, diastolic heart failure and valve issues, are all related to the Radiation Induced Heart Disease I now have 45 years after being treated with radiation for Hodgkin Lymphoma back in 1976. Seems ironic to be using a treatment that caused these problems as a potential treatment! Donna H

Yes agreed. Quiet a few people here have AF following breast cancer treatment I think.
