Overview
Electrocardiogram changes
- There are no ECG abnormalities that are specific to cardiac tumors.
- Nevertheless, based on the area of involvement and propensity to metastasize, cardiac tumors exhibit ECG alterations that can aid in their detection.
| Tumor | ECG changes |
|---|---|
| Myxoma | Findings of left atrial enlargement, rarely arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities. |
| Papillary Fibroelastoma | Nonspecific, patients may have atrial arrhythmias |
| Rhabdomyoma | Irregularities of the heart's rhythm, notably as heart block or ventricular tachycardia |
| Cardiac Fibroma | The ECG may reveal several abnormalities, such as left ventricular hypertrophy, right ventricular hypertrophy, bundle branch block, atrioventricular block, and ventricular tachycardia. |
| Cardiac Lipoma | Arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and atrioventricular block, may result from interference with electrical conduction in the heart.[1] |
| AV nodal tumor | It should also be explored in situations involving sudden death and congenital heart block. |
| Cardiac Sarcomas:
Angiosarcoma, Cardiac rhabdomyosarcomas, Fibrosarcoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma, Leiomyosarcomas, Osteosarcomas of the heart |
Tumors that invade the myocardium may occasionally manifest with persistent Q waves or even ST alterations on the electrocardiogram (ECG) without coronary artery disease.
