Why the study?

Paragangliomas rarely involve the heart, and multimodality imaging is needed to characterize these vascularized tumors for diagnosis and preoperative surgical planning.

Overview

Raises awareness for incidental cardiac paragangliomas on CT/echo; leaves open diagnostic and management strategies pending larger series.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients with cardiac paragangliomas
I
Intervention
Multimodality imaging (echocardiography, CT, MRI, functional imaging, invasive angiography)

Multimodality imaging is crucial for the diagnosis and preoperative planning of cardiac paragangliomas, particularly to delineate tumor vascularization and its relation to coronary arteries.
