    Journal: Indian Heart J; 2016 Sep; 68 Suppl 2(Suppl 2):S118-S120. PubMed ID: 27751261.
    Abstract:
    Cyst hydatid disease is an infectious disease caused by development of the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus in humans. Cardiac involvement of this disease is a rare condition, and if present, it is most commonly located in the left ventricle. Interventricular septal involvement is observed only in 4% of these cases. Herein, we report a case of cyst hydatid located at interventricular septum causing chest pain and ventricular tachycardia during cesarean section.
