What are the clinical manifestations of cardiac tumors?

summary

Cardiac tumors are rare, especially primary tumors. Metastatic tumors are about 20-40 times of primary tumors. Most of the primary cardiac tumors are benign, and atrial myxoma is the most common. Cardiac tumors can also be divided into myxoma, rhabdomyoma and fibroma. What does heart grow tumour symptom to have? Let's talk about it.

What are the clinical manifestations of cardiac tumors?

Cardiac tumors can produce a wide range of non cardiac systemic manifestations: fever, cachexia, general discomfort, joint pain, Raynaud's phenomenon, rash, clubbing fingers, paroxysmal eccentric behavior, systemic and pulmonary embolism. Laboratory examination may include hyperglobulinemia, accelerated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, anemia or polycythemia, thrombocytopenia or thrombocytopenia, and leukocytosis. These manifestations of cardiac tumors may be related to tumor products, tumor necrosis or immune response.

The clinical manifestation of embolism caused by fragments of cardiac tumor surface or thrombus shedding. The distribution of embolism depends on the location of the tumor and whether there is blood shunt in the heart. Emboli from the left heart can produce systemic arterial embolism. Visceral embolism can lead to infarction, hemorrhage and hemangioma. Central nervous system embolism can cause transient ischemic attack, cerebral infarction, epilepsy and syncope. Arterial embolism of the extremities causes ischemic damage to the tissue supplied by the artery.

The symptoms and signs of cardiac tumor itself may include chest pain, syncope, congestive left and / or right heart failure, valve stenosis or insufficiency, arrhythmia, conduction disorder, intracardiac shunt, constrictive pericarditis, bloody pericardial effusion or pericardial tamponade. Because the cardiac manifestations are often nonspecific, and may be very slight, or even lack, the systemic manifestations of cardiac tumors can sometimes be misdiagnosed as connective tissue vasculopathy, infection, or non cardiac malignant tumors. The specific signs and symptoms of cardiac tumors are usually related to their anatomic location and histological type.
