    Journal: Echocardiography; 2015 Jul; 32(7):1196-8. PubMed ID: 25586822.
    Abstract:
    Echinococcus granulosus infection may manifest with cardiac involvement causing various symptoms. Here, we discuss a case of a young patient who presented with sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) causing hemodynamic compromise. Diagnosis of cardiac hydatid cyst was established with echocardiography, computed tomography imaging, and serological examination. After surgical removal of the cyst VT did not recur.
