RESUMO
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a relatively common inherited cardiac disorder, with echocardiography still being the initial imaging method for its diagnosis. Cardiac fibroma is a primary neoplasm that most commonly presents in childhood. We present a patient who was investigated for typical cardiac symptoms who went on to have cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and was found to have both of these conditions.
RESUMO
A new standardised reporting system was introduced recently for coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography interpretation called CAD-RADS (Coronary Artery Disease-Reporting and Data System). Like any other new reporting platform, CAD-RADS has both advantages and disadvantages. Consistency in reporting, better clarity of communication, and more streamlined clinical recommendations are the major strengths of CAD-RADS. It has many limitations such as misinterpretation of CT angiography findings inherent to any CT angiography examination and unique disadvantages like misclassification of abnormalities, potential to misguide the referring physicians by suggesting management based on a single score. In addition, CAD-RADS does not include the details on location and extent of disease in the coronary arteries, coronary anomalies and other cardiac and extra cardiac findings.
