Cardiac tumors were once a nosographic entity of scarce clinical
interest because of the rarity and of the intrinsic diagnostic and
therapeutic impossibilities, and were considered a fatal morbid
entity. It has now become a topical subject due to advances in
clinical imaging (echo, magnetic resonance, computed tomography) as
well as innovation in technologies of in-vivo diagnosis. Cardiac
Tumor Pathology presents a spectacular example of these advances
with clinico-pathologic correlations. This timely volume covers
history, epidemiology, demographics, clinical diagnosis, pathology,
imaging by echo, CT and MRI of both benign and malignant cardiac
tumors, either primary or secondary. Chemotherapy of malignant
neoplasms is also addressed. Special emphasis is given to
clinico-pathologic correlations. With all chapters written by
experts in their fields, this volume will serve as a useful
resource for physicians dealing with, and interested in, this
special branch of cardiac oncology and will represent a useful
guide for pathologists, clinicians, cardiologists, cardiac
surgeons, and radiologists as well as for postgraduate students
training in these areas.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is an inherited heart
muscle disorder that may cause abnormal electrical heart rhythms
and weakening of the pumping action of the heart, resulting in
sudden death. The electrocardiograph (EKG) is used to diagnose the
disease, so it is important for cardiac electrophysiologists to be
familiar with the disease and to be able? to recognize it on the
EKG.
