Sport as Therapy

A cardiac lipoma is a benign primary tumor form of adipose tissue, composed of mature adipocytes that can be either capsuled or diffusely infiltrate the myocardium. Cardiac lipomas often are asymptomatic and depend on the size and location of the mass. Voluminous neoformations protruding in the hear...
