CARDIAC MASS A few different pathologies may found in heart Vegetation Thrombus Cardiac Tumor
CARDIAC MASS VEGETATION • Intracardiac mass mainly attacted to heart vavle usually found in association with endocarditis. Mass Contain • Infective Organism • Fibrin • Platelet • Leucocyte
CARDIAC MASS Location - Valve • Chordae Tendinea • LVOT • Prosthetic valve • Ppm lead , catheters • Right side of IVS ( vsd )
CARDIAC MASS Size • Variable – Large with Fungal Infection Echo Examination • 2 D Positive features • Visualized as a mobile Mass , oscillating. • Attached to valvular surface and collapsing into one of cardiac chamber during systole • Associated tissue changes - thickened , calcified • Irregular shape ,amorphous . • Low reflectance
CARDIAC MASS Negative features - High ecogenicity • Nonvalvular location • Smooth surface or fibrillar • Non mobile • Absence of regurgitation
CARDIAC MASS M-Mode - Thickened,Dense and Irregular multiple echo line
CARDIAC MASS Color Doppler • To detect association valve abnormalities such as regurgitation Role of echo examination • To detect • To assess progresion , effect of medication • Valve complication Ruptured , Perforation - Valvular regurgitation / stenosis • Abscess formation
CARDIAC MASS THROMBUS Blood that been converted from liquid to a solid state Precipitating condition • Dilated chamber and/or reduce contractility • Blood stagnation will result in thrombus formation Other cause • DCM - Post MI • Valve disease – MS • Prosthetis valve (mechanical/bio) • Arrhythmias ( Af,Flutter)
CARDIAC MASS Morphology • Bright , well define, possible mobile mass, attach to cardiac wall or flat thickening in cardiac wall (mural) Echo Examination Usually clear, identifiable edges, the wall motion abnormal (akinetic/ dykanetic) • If left atrium common location at posterior near LAA • Amorphous ,echogenic structures with variable shape • May be multiple and mobile . • Pw doppler to assess flow velocity within LAA < 20cm/sec increase the embolic risk .
CARDIAC MASS Cardiac Tumor 2 type • Benign eq: myxoma , lymphoma, Fibroma • Malignant - primary – Common sarcoma Secondary – Metastase of other organ Lung Ca , Renal Ca - 80% cardiac Tumor - Benign Myxoma 80% of cardiac tumor . • Location • 75% - LA • 20% - RA • Rare at ventricle
CARDIAC MASS LA Myxoma Role of echo examination -To look for : Size Extension/and Invasion within and outside the heart Valvular involment and competancy Ventricular function Pericardial effusion 2D All 4 Chamber should be visualized Location : Common origin from mid portion of the atrial septal atttach fosa ovale(narrow stalk) Shape : Polypoid ,pedunculated ,round or oval ,soft surface Size : Various Mobility : May prolapes during diastole Density : Echogenic and occasional calcified
CARDIAC MASS M-Mode Multiple echo line filling the space behind the mitral valve leaflet during diastole
Doppler To detect any haemodynamic changes cause by obstruction of mitral flow
CARDIAC MASS Summary Echo examination gold standard to diagnose and manages patient with cardiac mass but other modality are needs to confirm the diagnosis such as : Contrast echo ,TEE, 3D ,MRI ,CT Scan ,Lab Ix , Clinical features .
