| Popis: | A 62-year-old patient, from the province of Caceres (a region of endemic hydatidosis), with a history of elevated ferritin unrelated to the hemachromatosis gene, a hiatal hernia, mild esophagitis, and renal sinus cysts, was referred to the cardiology department for presyncopal episodes associated with headache. Cardiological examination revealed no data of interest. Both the ECG and thoracic x-ray were normal. Transthoracic echocardiography showed mild hypertrophy of the left ventricle with preserved systolic function and a 2.8-cm diameter round image with predominant hypogenicity inside, which was mobile and attached to the interatrial septum (Figure 1). Both serology and immunoglobulin E were negative for Echinococcus . Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed, which revealed a well-delimited round image attached to the interatrial septum in the right atrium, which exhibited a very low signal in the cine MRI … |
