How many years can you live with conservative treatment of ventricular wall tumors?

The survival time of patients after conservative treatment of ventricular wall tumors varies. Ventricular wall tumors form mainly due to total necrosis of the myocardium in the infarcted area, which is replaced by fibrous scar tissue, the thinning ventricular wall bulges outward, and the heart loses mobility during contraction or develops paradoxical movements. The disease has a serious impact on the patient’s heart function, and surgery is the most effective treatment, eventually progressing to heart failure. Although the risks of ventricular wall tumor surgery are relatively high, with high mortality and complication rates, overall, patients survive longer after surgery than with conservative treatment, and it is recommended that patients who are eligible for surgery choose it whenever possible.
