Service de Cardiologie, Centre Hospitalo-Universitaire de Grenoble.

The authors report the case of a 30-year old patient who presented atrioventricular block 12 years after mediastinal radiation treatment of Hodgkin's disease. This patient had been monitored in the service for 3 years after the insertion of a pacemaker. A review of the literature, identified 15 cases of post-radiation AV block. The AV block was subnodal in the 7 cases which were subjected to endocavitary recording.
