A 77-year-old woman with chronic atrial fibrillation underwent a routine transthoracic echocardiography that showed a left atrial myxoma. The patient underwent surgery by means of miniinvasive right thoracotomy in fourth intercostal space. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography showed a dangerous obstruction of the left ventricle inflow as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2. The obstructio...

BACKGROUND Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) is a rare cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP). The diagnosis can be missed because tachycardia is a common symptom in DCMP. CASE REPORT We reviewed a case 5-year-old with palpitation and dyspnea with symptoms and signs of heart failure that diagnosed as DCMP initially. Then, in the evaluation for cause of tachycardia, atrial tachycardia w...

Primary echinococcosis of the heart is exceptionally uncommon and is reported 0.5% to 2% of all hydatid cyst sites in comparison with liver (70%) or lung (20%) involvement. Hydatid disease of the heart is caused by the cestode tapeworm echinococcosis granulosis or alveolaris. We present a 29-year-old female with hydatid disease of the liver and heart. She only complained of abdominal pain and p...
