• ABSTRACT
    • Cardiac tumors are great imitators in cardiovascular disease. Common clinical presentations include arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, pericardial effusion, pulmonary or systemic embolic disease, valvular dysfunction and constitutional symptoms, such as fever, malaise and weight loss. M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography have simplified diagnosis, but the physician must have a high index of suspicion.
