This can lead to heart failure, heart attack, swelling of the heart, and abnormal heart beat. Radiation can also cause blockages in your blood vessels, putting you at risk for heart attack and heart failure too. And problems can show up years after treatment has ended. Not all cancers, treatments, or medication damage your cardiovascular system, however. If you…
