  • Title: [Cardiac metastasis disclosed by ventricular tachycardia. Diagnosis by echocardiography and ultrafast tomodensitometry].
    Author: Brochet E, Bouton S, Albert F, Assayag P, Hernigou A, Valère PE.
    Journal: Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss; 1993 Jan; 86(1):101-3. PubMed ID: 8338393.
    Abstract:
    The authors report the case of a right ventricular metastasis presenting with ventricular tachycardia and underline the usual diagnostic problems of secondary cardiac tumours, the symptoms of which are often unspecific and late. The appearance of a cardiac arrhythmia in the absence of known cardiac disease should raise the possibility of a cardiac metastasis in patients with malignant disease. The reported case also illustrates the diagnostic value of non-invasive cardiac imaging techniques (echocardiography and ultra-fast computerised tomography) in this context.
