An Uncommon Cause of Dyspnea: Usefulness of Multimodality Cardiac Imaging.

ABSTRACT: Pericardial lipomas are very uncommon benign primary cardiac tumors. We describe the case of a patient with symptomatic large pericardial mass who presented with heart failure. Multimodality cardiac imaging helped us in the diagnosis of this unusual entity. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Multimodality Imaging of a Silent Cardiac Hemangioma.

Project description:A 74-year-old man underwent echocardiographic exam for hypertension screening. A fixed plurilobulated mass originating from the right ventricular lateral wall and occupying half of the cavity was incidentally diagnosed. On cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) it appeared homogeneous, intermediate-to-high signal on T1-weighted, and diffusely hyperintense on T2-weighted images. First pass enhancement was late and heterogeneous and no late gadolinium enhancement was present. Computed tomography (CT) showed no extracardiac infiltration, the feeding artery was a branch of therightcoronary artery. The tumor was excised and histological examination demonstrated a hemangioma of the cavernous type. The postoperative course was uneventful. From 1998 to 2014, four cardiac hemangiomas have been diagnosed in our Department, accounting for 8.7% of all primary cardiac tumors and for 9.5% of all benign forms; estimated population prevalence was 0.11/100.000 inhabitants/year. The hemodynamic consequences of unoperated cardiac hemangiomas cannot be predicted and therefore, resection is recommended.

Mitral-aortic Intervalvular Fibrosa Aneurysm with Rupture into Left Atrium: An Uncommon Cause of Acute Dyspnea.

Project description:Aneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa (MAIF) is an exceptionally rare but a potentially catastrophic complication, commonly following aortic valve endocarditis. We present a 24-year-old male presenting with acute onset dyspnea secondary to MAIF aneurysm rupturing into a left atrium causing large shunt which was diagnosed on echocardiography. The MAIF aneurysm in the absence of infective endocarditis rupturing into left atrium is extremely rare.

Cardiac Paraganglioma: Multimodality Imaging of a Rare Tumor.

Project description:Paragangliomas are rare tumors of chromaffin cells arising from an extra-adrenal location. Unlike pheochromocytomas, they are seldom functional. We present a case of pericardial paraganglioma incidentally encountered on an echocardiographic study, focusing on the characteristic features the tumor demonstrates on different imaging modalities. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Echocardiography and Multimodality Cardiac Imaging in COVID-19 Patients.

Project description:The pandemic caused by the new SARS-CoV-2, named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease, has challenged the health-care systems and raised new diagnostic pathways and safety issues for cardiac imagers. Myocardial injury may complicate COVID-19 infection in more than a quarter of patients and due to the wide a range of possible insults, cardiac imaging plays a crucial diagnostic and prognostic role. There is still little evidence regarding the best-imaging pathway and the echocardiographic findings. Most of the data derive from the single centers experiences and case-reports; therefore, our review reflects the recommendations mainly based on expert opinion. Moreover, knowledge is constantly evolving. The health-care system and physicians are called to reorganize the diagnostic pathways to minimize the possibility of spreading the infection. Thus a rapid, bedside, ultrasound assessment of the heart, chest, and leg veins by point-of-care ultrasound seems to be the first-line tool of the fight against the SARS-CoV-2. A second Level of cardiac imaging is appropriate when the result may guide decision-making or may be life-saving. Dedicated scanners should be used and special pathways should be reserved for these patients. The current knowledge on cardiac imaging COVID-19 patients is reviewed.

Pathological Correlation of a Cardiac Mass with Multimodality Imaging

Project description:Cardiac masses are rarely encountered in clinical practice and can lead to severe hemodynamic consequences. In addition to clinical cues, noninvasive modalities can play an important role in characterization of these masses and therefore their diagnosis and management planning. Here in this case report, we describe the use of various forms of noninvasive imaging techniques to narrow the differential diagnosis and form an operative plan for a cardiac mass later identified as a benign myxoma originating from the right ventricle on histological examination.

Cardiac mass causing pulmonary hypertension: Dilemma resolved with multimodality imaging.

Project description:Myxoma, the most common cardiac tumor is known to cause mitral valve obstruction and right heart failure with pulmonary hypertension. Patients with this condition often present with dyspnea, peripheral edema, and other signs of right heart failure. Pulmonary hypertension secondary to mitral valve obstruction presents unique difficulties in diagnosis as opposed other secondary causes such as thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Multimodality imaging with MRI, CT, and echocardiography can help resolve this dilemma. This case report serves to elucidate the important role of multimodality imaging in the management of patients with such a presentation. We also demonstrate in our case report how surgical removal can be curative by relieving mitral valve obstruction and thereby reversing pulmonary hypertension.

An Unusual Cardiac Metastasis: Right Atrial Chondrosarcoma Diagnosed With Multimodality Cardiac Imaging.

Project description:Highlights•Metastatic cardiac tumors are about 20 times more common than primary cardiac tumors.•Metastatic CS to the myocardium has only rarely been described in case reports.•Cardiac masses are differentiated by clinical context, location, and imaging appearance.•CMR is considered the gold standard in cardiac imaging, but TEE was key in this case.
