Tumors of the heart

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

Tumors of the heart, particularly primary cardiac tumors, are one of the least investigated subjects in oncology. As such cardiac tumors and their associated complications rarely gain clinical attention despite their potentially serious sequela. Early recognition and diagnosis of a cardiac tumor by a combination of clinical symptoms and the use of modern imaging tools, could lead to the institution of appropriate management in a timely manner. This in turn may lead to better morbidity and mortality outcomes for these patients.
