Abstract

Patients with cancer and concomitant cardiovascular disease frequently need various imaging investigations to arrive at a correct diagnosis.

In this chapter we provide some illustrative cases and briefly discuss the pertinent imaging findings in patients with myocarditis, myocardial infarction, cardiac mass and cardiomyopathy.
