Abstract

Cardiac echinococcosis is rare despite endemic occurrence of echinococcosis in some regions of the world. Clinical presentation can vary and may be misleading. Diagnosis is facilitated by new imaging techniques. Surgery is mandatory to avoid serious complications. We report a case of cardiac echinococcosis with pseudo, ischemic clinical and electrical presentation.
