Implication

Multimodality imaging may aid detection of rare pericardial masses; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Population

1 67-year-old cachectic patient presenting with a 6-week history of increasing breathlessness, loss of weight and appetite, peripheral oedema, and signs of cardiac tamponade.

Intervention

Diagnostic imaging including transthoracic echocardiography, bubble contrast echocardiography, and contrast-enhanced CT scan.

Outcome

Diagnosis and characterization of the cardiac mass.

Multimodality imaging including echocardiography and contrast-enhanced CT is effective in identifying and characterizing primary cardiac angiosarcoma and its anatomical connections.
