Combination chemotherapy and radiation can reverse abnormal sinus node function and AV conduction disturbances caused by cardiac involvement of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
May support reversibility of lymphoma-related conduction disease with chemo-radiation; hypothesis-generating case report that leaves open need for prospective validation.
A 57-year-old man with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma presented with solitary sinus node dysfunction. Superior vena cava syndrome and progressive disturbance of the conduction system requiring dual chamber pacemaker implantation later appeared. Combination chemotherapy and radiation reversed abnormal sinus node function and the AV conduction disturbance, as demonstrated during electrophysiological evaluation.
