Popis: Lung cancer is the second most common solid tumour and the first in mortality worldwide. Important progress has been reached in recent years in this pathology, focusing its treatment on histology, molecular biology and clinical presentation. Cardiac metastatic involvement consists in a severe clinical entity with increasing incidence due to better radiological techniques and longer survival of lung cancer. It requires special care and attention from many specialists. Clinical review about cardiac involvement secondary to lung cancer is provided, focused on its epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnoses and treatment. Better understanding about cancer natural history is needed to offer the best treatment and care.
