Does the standard protocol for Hodgkin's lymphoma cause worsening of heart failure in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy?
Administration of the standard protocol for Hodgkin's lymphoma in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy resulted in full recovery without worsening heart failure.
May support tolerability in cardiomyopathy; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
Hodgkin's lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system. We report the case of a man with Hodgkin's lymphoma and cardiomyopathy, for which the dilemma was whether to use the standard protocol - putting the patient at risk of worsening of heart failure, but giving him a good chance of full recovery - or not. The standard protocol was given and the patient made a full recovery without cardiac complications.
