The authors describe a case of sinus tachycardia, an unusual cardiac complication of mediastinal radiotherapy; occurring in two patients by the first days of treatment and persisting for several years. No other cause for this tachycardia could be detected in either case. Electrophysiological investigation of one of the two patients was normal. Despite the risk of a high-degree conduction disorder, "symptomatic" beta-blocker treatment was prescribed, but only induced a limited effect.
