Electrocardiography and cardio-oncology
Key points • Baseline ECG in any cardiac or extracardiac tumors is mandatory since therapeutic side effects of chemotherapy on heart are proven. • Comprehensive understanding of the cardiac effect…
CARDIOLOGY
Angiographic clues for a cardiac mass
Key points • Most heart tumors are benign. Atrial myxomas make for 30%–50% of all primary cardiac tumors. (See Boxes 5.2 and 5.3 .) Box 5.2 Coronary artery disease. Coronary…
History and physical examination of different cardiac masses
Key points • Primary cardiac tumors (PCTs) are extremely rare that may be symptomatic or found incidentally. • The signs and symptoms of cardiac tumors generally are determined by the…
Multimodality imaging for diagnosis of cardiac masses
Key Points • Cardiac tumors are being rare, but form an important component of cardio-oncology practice in which diagnosis and management are vital. • Tumors encompass a broad set of…
