PATIENTS AND METHODS: In Norway from 1980 to 1988, 129 patients &lt; 50 years old with Hodgkin's disease had curative treatment with mediastinal radiation, with or without chemotherapy. 116 (90%) of these patients (mean (SD) age 37 (7) years, 67 males) were examined by echocardiography 5-13 years after treatment. 40 healthy individuals (mean (SD) age 40 (11), 20 males) were examined as controls. All those examined were in regular sinus rhythm. RESULTS: Grade &gt; 1 (scale 0-3) aortic and\/or mitral valvar regurgitation was found in 24% of the patients (15% aortic, 7% mitral, and 2% aortic+mitral), affecting 46% of the females v 16% of the males (P &lt; 0.001). Female gender was a significant risk factor for aortic and mitral regurgitation (odds ratio 4.7, 95% confidence interval 2.0 to 11.2), whereas age, period of follow up, radiation dose, and chemotherapy were not. Thickened pericardium was diagnosed in 15% of the patients. No risk factors were identified. No cases of pericardial thickening or valvar regurgitation grade &gt; 1 were recorded in the control group. Mean values for measured and calculated indices of systolic and diastolic function were within the normal range for patients and controls. The patients had reduced E\/A ratio compared with the healthy controls (E\/A 1.1 v 2.0, P &lt; 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Abnormal left sided valvar regurgitation was detected in one fourth of the patients, affecting the aortic valve in more than half of the cases. Females had an increased risk of valvar regurgitation. Echocardiographic screening after high-dose mediastinal radiation is recommended.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/hrt.75.6.591","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,18]],"date-time":"2007-09-18T17:46:00Z","timestamp":1190137560000},"page":"591-595","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":83,"title":["Increased risk of heart valve regurgitation after mediastinal radiation for Hodgkin's disease: an echocardiographic study."],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"75","author":[{"given":"M.
