AB Echocardiography  and  in  particular  TEE  is  well  suited  to  assess  for  the  presence  of  intracardiac  masses  such  as  thrombus  or  tumor.  Other  imaging  modalities,  especially  cardiac  MRI,  play  an  important  complimentary  role  in  characterization  of  the  masses  (eg,  differentiating  thrombus  from  tumor).  In  this  chapter,  Dr.  Grimm  and  his  colleagues  from  the  Cleveland  Clinic  will  highlight  the  value  of  echocardiography  in  the  evaluation  of  patients  with  intracardiac  masses,  including  cases  of  primary  and  metastatic  cardiac  tumors  and  intracardiac  thrombus.
