Multimodality cardiac imaging identifies rare left ventricular metastasis in advanced urothelial carcinoma presenting with stroke.
Case Report (n=1)
Multimodality cardiac imaging is crucial for diagnosing rare cardiac metastases, such as intracavitary urothelial carcinoma, which can present with embolic phenomena.
May prompt multimodality imaging for embolic events in urothelial carcinoma; case-level data leave broader screening recommendations open.
Screening echocardiography aids in identifying cardiac emboli causes and asymptomatic cardiac metastases in high-grade neoplasms. Conversely, cardiac MRI provides advanced tissue characterization and broader extracardiac assessment.

Qavi et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Metastatic urothelial carcinoma with cardiac metastasis (n=1). Multimodality cardiac imaging (TTE and CMR) was evaluated. Multimodality cardiac imaging identified a rare intracavitary left ventricular metastasis in a patient with advanced urothelial carcinoma presenting with stroke-like symptoms.
