Cardiovascular magnetic resonance diagnosis of cystic tumor of the atrioventricular node

Abstract

Late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has proven to be the gold standard for viability assessment. LGE CMR is also useful for identifying the nature of cardiac masses or lesions. We report a case of a rare primary cystic tumor of the atrioventricular node, in which CMR proved to be valuable. © 2009 Tran et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
