- There are no established risk factors for Cardiac tumors. But HIV predisposes to formation of Kaposi Sarcoma of heart.[1]
- Certain syndromes like Gorlin syndrome, Tuberous Sclerosis, LAMB, NAME, and Paragangliomas are associated with increased risk of cardiac tumors.[2]
Factors affecting Prognosis
- There are definitive risk factors influencing the prognosis of patients afflicted with cardiac tumors.
- The independent risk factors associated with poor prognosis of cardiac tumors include, conservative management, malignant nature of tumor, and biatrial tumors.[3]
- It is also important to note that features like age, sex, NYHA grading, leg edema, and peripheral embolism do not affect the longevity of patients with cardiac tumors. [3]
