Characteristics of Cardiac Tumor and the Risk Stratification of Subsequent Adverse Events (UNIQUE)

This study aims to construct a retrospective-prospective long-term follow-up cohort and management system for cardiac tumors through a multi-centre collaborative network. The duration of the study will be divided into retrospective and prospective components. The retrospective study will collect cases of cardiac tumors from 2003-2022; the prospective study is expected to collect cases of cardiac tumors from 2022-2030. The study is expected to assess the disease characteristics, progression patterns, clinical features, natural course and long-term prognosis of cardiac tumors.
