❤️ Support us - transfer to a VISA card 4355053921990398 (ARMEN ASTVATSATRYAN) via Cardiac tumors may be primary (benign or malignant) or metastatic (malignant). Myxoma, a benign tumor, is the most common type of primary cardiac tumor. Cardiac tumors may occur in any cardiac tissue. They can cause valvular or inflow-outflow tract obstruction, thromboembolism, arrhythmias, or pericardial disorders. Diagnosis is by echocardiography and frequently cardiac MRI. Treatment of benign tumors is usually surgical resection; tumors may recur. Treatment of metastatic cancer depends on tumor type and origin; prognosis is generally poor. #cardiac #tumors #myxoma Professor Armen Astvatsatryan, MD, PhD, ScD, FESC.
