The heart, this vital organ that has been beating tirelessly, plays an irreplaceable role in our bodies. Most people probably didn’t expect a tumour in their heart. Although tumours in the heart are relatively rare, they can pose a serious threat to our health. Today, let’s meet the heart tumor, the rare growth of the heart.
Cardiac tumours can be classified into two main categories: primary and secondary. Prophylactic heart tumours are tumours originating in the heart ‘ s own tissue, of which more benign tumours, such as mucous tumours, are the most common tumours of protocardial tumours, usually in the heart room, especially the left. The tumours are typically in the form of groin or fuzzy, and one of them is connected to the walls of the heart. There are also neoplasms, fibromas, etc., which are also benign tumours of the original heart. Primary cardiac malignant neoplasms are less common, mainly vascular cardiacomas, transectal musculomas, etc., which are high in severity, fast-growing and easily transmitted. Consequencing cardiac tumours are tumours that are transferred to the heart from other parts of the body, such as lung cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, etc. Among all heart tumours, the incidence of secondary tumours is higher than that of the primary tumours.
What are the symptoms of heart tumors? This depends on factors such as the size of the tumor, its location, growth rate and whether it affects the normal functioning of the heart. Some of the smaller cardiac tumours may not show visible symptoms for a long period of time and were only detected during an occasional medical examination or as a result of other diseases. When tumours grow, a series of symptoms can occur. For example, if the tumor affects the normal flow of blood to the heart, which leads to a disruption of blood flow, the patient may experience respiratory difficulties, especially after the activity, due to the inability of the heart to effectively pump the blood out and to haemorrhage in the lungs; may also suffer from heart attack, chest pain, which may be caused by the tumour oppressing the tissues or veins around the heart; if the tumour infringes the conductive system of the heart, the patient may feel arrhythmia, which may cause the patient to feel an irregular heartbeat, panic, etc.; and may cause embolism, which may lead to a stroke in the brain, which may cause embolism in the lungs, and serious complications such as pulmonary embolism, which may result in a corresponding headache, dizziness, coughing, blood, increased respiratory difficulties, etc.
The diagnosis of cardiac tumours requires a combination of multiple examinations. The first is a detailed inquiry into the patient ‘ s medical history and whether the patient has other tumours, family history and current symptoms. At the medical examination, the doctor may find an abnormal heart or noise during the hearing of the heart. An electrocardiogram can help detect electrical-physiological anomalies such as cardiac disorders. The chest X-ray allows for the observation of any increase or abnormal changes in the physique of the heart, and if there is blood silt in the lungs. However, the most critical examination is the heart ultrasound, which clearly shows the size, shape, location, activity and relation of heart tumours to the surrounding tissue and is of great value for the diagnosis of heart tumours. In addition, for some cases that are difficult to identify, there may be a need for examinations such as MRI, CT, which can provide more detailed information on the heart structure and tumours, and even, if necessary, a biopsy to determine the nature of the tumors.
Once diagnosed with heart tumours, the choice of treatment is to be considered in the light of the type, size, location and overall state of the patient. Surgery is the main treatment for congenital cardiac benign tumours, such as mucous tumours. The whole tumour is removed from the operation, which is generally better predicted, but there is also a certain risk of recurrence, which requires periodic post-operative review. In the case of congenital cardiac malignant neoplasms, due to their high degree of malignity and pre-posteration, surgical removal is often only part of a combination of treatment and may require a combination of complementary treatments, such as chemotherapy and decomposition, but the overall effect is relatively limited. In the case of regenerative cardiac tumours, treatment is provided mainly for primary tumours, such as surgery, chemotherapy, decomposition, etc., and the corresponding tumour treatment is provided for the symptoms of heart tumours in order to alleviate the suffering of patients and improve their quality of life.
Although heart tumors are rare, we can’t ignore their existence. In daily life, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to prevent the occurrence of tumours. (b) A rational diet, with food rich in vitamins and food fibres, such as vegetable fruits and fruits, which reduces intake of high fats, high cholesterol and salty foods; adequate exercise to enhance body strength and improve body immunity; a stop to alcohol and avoid physical damage to poor living habits; and periodic medical examinations, especially for groups with family history of tumours, with a particular focus on vital organs such as the heart, for early detection of anomalies and early treatment.
Although heart tumors are rare growth products of the heart, our awareness of and treatment for them are growing as medical technology continues to develop. Knowledge of cardiac tumours helps us to better focus on heart health and to minimize the risks to our lives by being able to detect, diagnose and treat this rare disease early.
