Abstract
Ämnesord
Stäng
- Cardiac tumors are rarely suspected clinically but usually appear as unexpected fi ndings when patients are investigated for syncope, breathlessness, thromboembolism, or constitutional manifestations such as congestive heart failure or pulmonary hypertension [1]. Transthoracic echocardiography provides a great opportunity to identify tumors that are clinically silent [2], although extension to extra cardiac structures should be further investigated by transesophageal echocardiography [3], CT scanning, or CMR. Benign tumors form approximately 80% of all cardiac tumors, 70% of which are myxomas [4].
