Case Reports in Cardiology

It offers a unique perspective on the role of case reports in medical education and management of cardiac neoplasm and other cardiac tumor associated diseases. It underscores how case reports can be used to enhance diagnostic accuracy, identify new treatment options, and promote innovation in the field.
