Abstract

Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma (CPF) is one of the most common neoplasms of the cardiac valvular structures that are associated with complications such as systemic stroke, embolism, and arrhythmias. We present a case of an incidentally discovered left ventricular mass in a 75-year-old Caucasian woman.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
