title = "Cardiac tumours",
abstract = "The differential diagnosis for a cardiac mass is broad, and includes thrombus, normal anatomical variants, metastases, and a variety of primary cardiac tumours. Although cardiac tumours are rare, they can lead to serious complications such as intra-cardiac obstruction and fatal arrhythmias, even when benign. Over the last decade, there have been significant advances in cardiac imaging. This chapter discusses the roles of echocardiography, cardiovascular magnetic resonance, cardiac computed tomography, and nuclear imaging in the diagnosis, characterisation, and management of cardiac masses. This chapter also provides an overview of the most common cardiac masses and their key imaging features across all modalities.",
