Typically, echocardiography is the methodology of choice, and in the case of a hemangioma, contrast, if used, will be rapidly taken up by the highly vascular tumor.…”

“…They can derive from all three cardiac layers, endocardium, myocardium, and epicardium, as well as pericardium 2 . Furthermore, these tumors can be located in multiple anatomic locations, the majority of which present in the right ventricle (36%), followed by the left ventricle (34%), then the right atrium (23%), and last the left atrium (7%) 1, 4, 5.

Incremental value of PET and MRI in the evaluation of cardiovascular abnormalities

The cardiovascular system is affected by a wide range of pathological processes, including neoplastic, inflammatory, ischemic, and congenital aetiology. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) are state-of-the-art imaging modalities used in the evaluation of these cardiovascular disorders. MRI has good spatial and temporal resolutions, tissue characterization and multi-planar imaging/reconstruction capabilities, which makes it useful in the evaluation of cardiac morphology, ventricular and valvar function, disease characterization, and evaluation of myocardial viability. FDG-PET provides valuable information on the metabolic activity of the cardiovascular diseases, including ischemia, inflammation, and neoplasm. MRI and FDG-PET can provide complementary information on the evaluation of several cardiovascular disorders. For example, in cardiac masses, FDG-PET provides the metabolic information for indeterminate cardiac masses. MRI can be used for localizing and characterizing abnormal hypermetabolic foci identified incidentally on PET scan and also for local staging. A recent advance in imaging technology has been the development of integrated PET/MRI systems that utilize the advantages of PET and MRI in a single examination. The goal of this manuscript is to provide a comprehensive review on the incremental value of PET and MRI in the evaluation of cardiovascular diseases.Main Messages• MRI has good spatial and temporal resolutions, tissue characterization, and multi-planar reconstruction• FDG-PET provides valuable information on the metabolic activity of cardiovascular disorders• PET and MRI provide complementary information on the evaluation of cardiovascular disordersElectronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s13244-016-0494-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Background Primary cardiac tumors are an exceedingly rare benign group of tumors that may remain asymptomatic for a prolonged duration or could lead to significant clinical events. Case Presentation A 64-year-old female patient underwent echocardiography prior to elective knee surgery due to the presence of palpitations and dyspnea. This revealed the existence of a mass located on the left side of the interventricular septum, which was resected successfully. Conclusion Surgical resection represents the primary therapeutic approach for the management of cardiac hemangiomas. Failure to perform timely resection may elevate the risk of developing total atrioventricular block and experiencing sudden death.
