During radiotherapy, ionizing radiation can damage some structures of the heart, including pericardium, myocardium, cardiac valve, conducting system, and coronary artery. Radiation-induced cardiac injury can manifest as abnormalities in many aspects including myocardium enzymes, perfusion imaging, electrocardiogram, strain rate imaging.
