BackgroundCardiac teratoma is extremely rare, accounting for less than 1% of adult cardiac tumors. These teratomas typically occur in the pericardium and myocardium, with intracardiac teratomas being even rarer. Given the limited number of cases, diagnosing and treating intracardiac teratomas remains challenging.Case demonstrationA 50-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with a 1-month history of chest tightness and shortness of breath after exertion.

BackgroundThe serum lactate/albumin ratio (LAR) is commonly employed for monitoring and evaluating the prognosis of critically ill patients. Both elevated lactate levels and decreased albumin levels may reflect the body's stress response and inflammatory reaction. Coronary heart disease (CHD), with common complications including myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, heart failure, is one of the leading causes of global death.
