Abstract
•Data on cardiac toxicity after SBRT for ultra-central lung tumors remains limited.•We analyzed the dose to 18 cardiac sub-structures and cardiovascular toxicity.•A SBRT regimen of 45Gy in 8-10 fractions yields good local control and low toxicity.•The highest cardiac doses were observed in the pulmonary artery and left atrium.•Higher doses to the base of the heart seem to be associated with non-cancer deaths.
