BACKGROUND Radiotherapy-associated cardiac toxicity studies in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have been limited by small sample size and nonvalidated cardiac endpoints.OBJECTIVES The purpose of this analysis was to ascertain whether cardiac radiation dose is a predictor of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and all-cause mortality (ACM).METHODS This retrospective analysis included 748 consecutive locally advanced NSCLC patients treated with thoracic radiotherapy. Fine and Gray and Cox regressions were used to identify predictors for MACE and ACM, adjusting for lung cancer and cardiovascular prognostic factors, including pre-existing coronary heart disease (CHD).RESULTS After amedian follow-up of 20.4 months, 77 patients developed >= 1 MACE (2-year cumulative incidence, 5.8%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.3% to 7.7%), and 533 died. Mean radiation dose delivered to the heart (mean heart dose) was associated with a significantly increased risk of MACE (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 1.05/Gy; 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.08/Gy; p= 10 Gy vs.
