AI Article Synopsis

  • Identifying unknown masses in the left atrium is difficult, particularly in patients who have had a heart transplant.
  • Accurate diagnosis is vital due to its significant impact on treatment options.
  • Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) is an effective non-invasive method for distinguishing between different heart lesions, helping doctors to develop appropriate treatment plans.
