Abstract：In recent years, radiotherapy has been widely applied in tumor patients. The short‐term and long‐term impact on the cardiovascular system has captivated increasing attention from radiologist and cardiologist. Along with higher radiation dose and longer follow‐up, the incidence rate of coronary artery disease tends to significantly elevate, especially in patients with breast cancer and lung cancer. With the advancement of radiotherapy technologies, different tumors, different radiation doses and different modes of radiation delivery exert different effects on coronary artery. There are still some disputes about how to prevent, diagnose, evaluate, and treat the high‐risk population of coronary artery diseases after radiotherapy. How to optimize the treatment strategy before and after radiotherapy to reduce the incidence of short‐term and long‐term coronary artery diseases in cancer patients needs further clinical research.
