Conclusion
Our study confirms very good accuracy of TTE in the diagnosis of CM. The
most important echocardiographic characteristics to differentiate
between CM and tumors of different etiology are tumor location and size.
Smaller tumors presenting at an atypical location are less likely to be
diagnosed as CM, and these require additional imaging modalities for
accurate diagnosis.
