Confronting perimenopausal women’s knowledge of coronary heart disease with their health behaviours. Controversial role of hormone replacement therapy in the protection of coronary heart disease
Primary cardiac sarcomas are extremely uncommon. We report two patients with primary cardiac atrial sarcomas: a case report of a 34-year old woman with intimal sarcoma of the left atrium and a case report of a 30-year old man with synovial sarcoma of the right atrium. Clinicopathological and differential diagnosis with a discussion regarding the role of molecular studies is presented.
