Abstract
Background and aims
Cardiac ParaGangliomas (PGLs) are rare extra-adrenal tumours that arise from chromaffin cells of the sympathetic ganglia. PGL are often diagnosed incidentally, with no symptoms or symptoms related to cardiovascular dysfunction.
Methods
Cardiac Computed Tomography (CCT) and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) can detect the correct morphology and position of the lesion and provide proper tissue characterization.
Nuclear medicine imaging, with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) or Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) with specific radiotracers, can evaluate the functionality of the PGL and to distinguish a secreting from a non-secreting tumour.
Results
In association with biochemical parameters, a multimodal imaging approach, not yet standardized, can be useful both in the diagnosis, in the monitoring and in the treatment planning.
Conclusions
In this systematic review, we aim to investigate the role of diagnostic imaging, in particular CCT, CMR, PET and SPECT in diagnosis, characterization and monitoring of cardiac PGLs.
期刊介绍:
IJC Heart & Vasculature is an online-only, open-access journal dedicated to publishing original articles and reviews (also Editorials and Letters to the Editor) which report on structural and functional cardiovascular pathology, with an emphasis on imaging and disease pathophysiology. Articles must be authentic, educational, clinically relevant, and original in their content and scientific approach. IJC Heart & Vasculature requires the highest standards of scientific integrity in order to promote reliable, reproducible and verifiable research findings. All authors are advised to consult the Principles of Ethical Publishing in the International Journal of Cardiology before submitting a manuscript. Submission of a manuscript to this journal gives the publisher the right to publish that paper if it is accepted. Manuscripts may be edited to improve clarity and expression.
