Cardiomyopathy III: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy01:29

Cardiomyopathy III: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy without ventricular dilation. It is more common in men and is typically diagnosed in young, athletic adults.EtiologyHCM is primarily genetic and is caused by mutations in genes encoding sarcomeric proteins. Researchers have identified over 1400 mutations across at least 11 different genes. Among these, the most frequently occurring mutations are found in the...

Cardiomyopathy I: Introduction and Classification

Cardiomyopathy, or CMP, is a group of diseases affecting the myocardial structure, impairing its ability to pump blood effectively. This condition can lead to arrhythmias, heart failure, or sudden cardiac death.Cardiomyopathies are classified into primary and secondary categories:Primary Cardiomyopathy refers to conditions involving only the heart muscle that are often idiopathic (of unknown cause) or genetic. They primarily affect the myocardium without the involvement of other systemic...
Cirrhosis I: Introduction01:23

Cirrhosis I: Introduction

Cirrhosis is a chronic, irreversible liver disease characterized by the widespread replacement of healthy liver tissue with fibrotic scar tissue and the formation of regenerative nodules.Etiology of cirrhosisCirrhosis results from sustained liver injury that triggers progressive fibrosis and structural remodeling. The underlying causes are diverse, encompassing common and less frequent clinical conditions. Regardless of the origin, all causes lead to chronic inflammation, hepatocyte loss, and...
Cardiomyopathy II: Dilated Cardiomyopathy01:30

Cardiomyopathy II: Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Dilated cardiomyopathy, or DCM, is a progressive myocardial disorder characterized by ventricular chamber dilation and contractile dysfunction.EtiologyVarious factors can cause DCM, including hypertension and heavy alcohol intake, which contribute to the weakening and enlargement of the heart muscle. Viral infections, such as Coxsackievirus B, adenoviruses, and influenza, can lead to DCM by causing inflammation and damage to heart tissue. Certain chemotherapeutic agents, including daunorubicin,...
Cardiomyopathy IV: Restrictive Cardiomyopathy01:29

Cardiomyopathy IV: Restrictive Cardiomyopathy

Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a rare heart muscle disease characterized by impaired ventricular filling due to stiffened ventricular walls, leading to significant diastolic dysfunction.EtiologyRestrictive cardiomyopathy can arise from both inherited and acquired diseases, many of which are systemic. It is categorized into four main types: infiltrative, storage, non-infiltrative, and endomyocardial diseases.Infiltrative diseases, such as amyloidosis, lead to RCM by depositing amyloid...
Mitral Stenosis II: Clinical features and Diagnostic Tests01:23

Mitral Stenosis II: Clinical features and Diagnostic Tests

Mitral stenosis is a heart condition in which the mitral valve, which allows blood to flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle, becomes narrowed or stenotic. This narrowing hinders blood flow and leads to clinical symptoms requiring specific medical evaluations and management strategies. The following overview outlines the clinical symptoms, assessments, diagnostic findings, prevention methods, and treatments for mitral stenosis.Clinical ManifestationsDyspnea (shortness of breath): This...

Summary

Cardiac haemangioma is a rare benign tumor. Imaging techniques aid diagnosis, and surgery is often required for successful treatment, with ongoing monitoring recommended.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Oncology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Cardiac haemangioma, a rare benign neoplasm, was first described in 1893.
  • It accounts for approximately 2.8% of primary benign cardiac tumors.
  • These tumors can arise from various cardiac structures, including ventricles, valves, atria, and the epicardium.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of cardiac haemangioma in a young woman.
  • To illustrate the diagnostic utility of various imaging modalities.
  • To discuss the surgical management and follow-up of cardiac haemangioma.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnosis was established using transthoracic echocardiography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging.
  • Coronary CT provided detailed evaluation of the tumor's relationship with the left anterior descending coronary artery.
  • The patient underwent surgical resection, followed by serial imaging and clinical assessment.

Main Results:

  • A 24-year-old woman presented with a cardiac haemangioma adjacent to the left anterior descending coronary artery.
  • Incomplete surgical resection left a remnant, and one diagonal branch was sacrificed.
  • Post-operative imaging showed a stable remnant tumor, preserved left ventricular function, and the patient remained asymptomatic.

Conclusions:

  • Cardiac haemangioma is a rare tumor with an unknown cause, diagnosed effectively with imaging.
  • Coronary CT is valuable for assessing tumor extent and its relation to coronary vessels.
  • Timely surgical intervention is crucial, supplemented by regular follow-up examinations and echocardiography.
