Özet

Cardiotoxicity of 5-fluorouracil including ECG changes and angina pectoris have been previously well defined. However, cisplatin related cardiotoxicity has been reported rarely. We, herein, report two cases one with bradycardia and the other with angina following bradycardia during the course of cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil treatment.
