    Author: Demirtaş M, Usal A, San M, Birand A.
    Journal: Angiology; 1996 Jun; 47(6):601-7. PubMed ID: 8678335.
    Abstract:
    Although hydatid disease has been reported in almost all human tissues, cardiac involvement is uncommon. The authors report a case of cardiac hydatid disease presenting with cardiac tamponade. The diagnostic value of transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, computed tomography, and angiography in hydatid heart disease is also discussed.
