Department of Cardio-Thoracic-Vascular Diseases, Foundation IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, 20122 Milan, Italy.
Cardiac masses are complex clinical conditions that frequently pose diagnostic challenges in cardiology practice. These masses can form within heart chambers or near the pericardium and are generally categorized as either non-neoplastic or neoplastic. These latter are further classified into benign and malignant (primary and secondary or metastatic).

Article Synopsis
- Cardiomyopathies (CMPs) are heart muscle diseases with various structural and functional characteristics, often linked to genetics and distinct from other heart conditions.
- Diagnosis typically relies on echocardiography, but advanced imaging techniques like cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and computed tomography can help identify specific issues such as fatty infiltration and fibrosis.
- CMR is especially valuable for diagnosing and monitoring CMPs due to its precision, ability to provide detailed tissue characterization, and lack of harmful radiation, making it essential for establishing prognosis and therapy response.
