NEOPLASMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE HEART AND THE MANAGEMENT
Tumors of the heart are rare; most (75% to 88%) are benign (Braunwald et al., 2001;
Kamiya et al., 2001).
• Primary tumors occur in less than 1% of the population; metastatic tumors have been
• reported in 1.5% to 35% of oncology patients (Braunwald et al., 2001; Reynan, 1996;
Shapiro, 2001).
• Tumors may be sites for thrombus formation and therefore create a risk of embolism.
• Dysrhythmias may occur as the myocardium or conduction system is affected.
PRIMARY CARDIAC TUMOURS
BENIGN
1. Myxoma
2. Papillary fibroelastoma
3. Fibroma
4. Lipoma
5. Rhabdomyomas

GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM DISORDERS
Disorders of the digestive system have serious consequences for the activity of the organism as a whole
congenital malformations
traumatic processes
inflammatory processes
neoplastic processes
infectious processes
Digestive system communicates with the external environment through the intake of fluids and food.
Common git disorders
• Motor dysfunction of smooth muscle of the individual parts of the digestive system
• Indigestion of food and absorption of nutrients - malabsorption syndrome
• Bleeding into the individual parts of the digestive tract
• Perforation of the wall of the digestive system with subsequent leakage of the
contents to the peritoneal cavity
• Obstruction in moving of the contents of one part of the digestive system to the next
section
• Circulation disorders in the wall of the individual parts of the digestive system
