Correlation between radiotherapy (A) and discrete myocardial fibrosis (LGE, red arrows; B). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging‐detectable diffuse fibrosis (ECV; C) corresponding to biopsy‐proven fibrosis (D), after esophageal cancer radiotherapy. Specifically, histopathologically, interstitial fibrosis (yellow arrow) and myocardial degeneration such as irregular arrangement (white arrow) or vacuolar changes (blue arrow) are seen.
