Intracardiac masses denote anomalous growths or accumulations within the heart's chambers. These formations exhibit diverse compositions and origins, encompassing benign tumors, blood clots, and more grave conditions like cancers. Their presence can precipitate notable challenges to cardiac function, potentially impeding blood circulation and giving rise to complications such as embolism or obstruction. Advanced diagnostic methods, including echocardiography and cardiac MRI, assume a pivotal role in discerning and characterizing these masses. These techniques empower healthcare practitioners to determine the most suitable course of treatment. The management of intracardiac masses may entail medical therapies, surgical procedures, or a blend of approaches, contingent upon the nature and severity of the mass in question. A prompt identification and intervention are imperative for effectively addressing intracardiac masses and safeguarding overall cardiac health.
