Abstract Cardiac masses represent solid formations of various origins, with accurate diagnosis being crucial, particularly for those of a malignant nature, which are typically associated with a worse prognosis. Given this diversity, a comprehensive approach often involves the integration of multiple imaging modalities. Conventional cardiovascular imaging techniques such as transthoracic echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and cardiac tomography offer insights into anatomical features and hemodynamic implications associated with these masses. However, due to its limitations, greater precision in the etiological […]

Introduction Sarcoidosis is a non-caseating granulomatous inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. The presentation can range from an asymptomatic condition with nonspecific findings on chest radiography to organ failure. Any part of the body can be affected, but the most common sites are the mediastinal lymph nodes and the lungs, followed by the skin and ocular structures such as the uvea. Other systems, such as the nervous, endocrine, gastrointestinal, urinary, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular systems, can also be affected. Cardiac sarcoidosis is […]
