Clinical presentations, diagnosis, and management of arrhythmias associated with cardiac tumors
Cardiac tumors are a rare cause of arrhythmias in clinical practice. They can cause a broad spectrum of arrhythmias, from low‐grade ectopics to incessant ventricular tachycardias, including sudden cardiac arrest. Both primary and secondary cardiac tumors

Fatty images of the heart: spectrum of normal and pathological findings at computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. [PDF]
Ectopic cardiac fatty images are not rarely detected incidentally at computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance, either in exams focused on the heart as in general thoracic imaging evaluations.

A serendipitous encounter in a twist of fate from the spine to the heart
Incidental findings are common in medicine and often lead to diagnostic and management dilemmas. Myxomas the most prevalent benign tumors can be incidentally diagnosed in almost 20% of cases.

SynergyNet: Bridging the Gap between Discrete and Continuous Representations for Precise Medical Image Segmentation [PDF]
In recent years, continuous latent space (CLS) and discrete latent space (DLS) deep learning models have been proposed for medical image analysis for improved performance. However, these models encounter distinct challenges. CLS models capture intricate details but often lack interpretability in terms of structural representation and robustness due to ...

Familial angiosarcoma of the heart [PDF]
Primary cardiac tumors are rare and about 75% are benign, of which 75% are atrial myxomas. Angiosarcomas are the most common malignant primary cardiac tumors, with 90% arising in the left atrium and 10% in the right atrium.
