The topic Angioma of Heart you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Cardiac Hemangioma.

Quick Summary:

  • Hemangiomas are benign malformation of blood vessels that can occur in a number of tissues such as the kidney, liver, lung, skin, and brain
  • Cardiac Hemangiomas are rare tumors that are observed in both children and adults. This type of hemangioma is generally a mix of capillary, cavernous, and arteriovenous (AV) hemangioma type
  • There are no known risk factors for sporadic Cardiac Hemangiomas; however, in some individuals, the tumor is seen to be associated with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (an uncommon disorder of the circulatory system seen in infants)
  • Many small hemangiomas are often undiagnosed and do not cause any signs and symptoms. In some cases, Cardiac Hemangiomas may present with chest pain, breathing difficulties, arrhythmias, and pericardial effusion
  • Complications could include heart failure, severe obstruction of heart function, and even sudden death due to severe arrhythmias
  • Surgical removal of the hemangioma is typically the best treatment option for Cardiac Hemangioma. The prognosis of the tumor with suitable treatment (surgical excision and removal) is reported to be good
