Illustrates poor prognosis of inoperable cardiac tumors with heart failure; hypothesis-generating for earlier detection strategies.
Case Report (n=1)
Cardiac tumors often present with non-specific symptoms such as heart failure, and late diagnosis can preclude curative surgical intervention.
Юрочко et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Cardiac tumor (n=1). Symptomatic treatment was evaluated. A 63-year-old female patient with a massive left atrial and pericardial tumor, complicated by exudative pericarditis and heart failure, was ineligible for surgery and died after one year.
