Description
Paul Pecorin and seven co-authors report a case where heart angiography uncovered a primary cardiac angiosarcoma behind chest pain and ST segment rise. Such tumors are rare, malign, and can cause chest pain and heart failure signs. The report came out in twenty twenty-four.
A man in his fifties came in with crushing chest pain and breathlessness, and his heart tracing showed broad ST rises. Urgent angiography found no major artery disease. It did show slow dye flow into a mass over the right atrium, which proved to be the tumor. The authors note image tools can reveal odd causes once true emergencies are ruled out.
