Abstract
Malignant involvement of the heart and pericardium is uncommon in advanced cancer, and rarely results in cardiac symptoms. Myocardial ischaemia due to metastatic disease is particularly uncommon. We report a case of a young man in whom myocardial ischaemia was diagnosed at presentation of Hodgkin's disease, and which resolved as the underlying lymphoma responded to chemotherapy.
