Resumo(s)
An 80-year-old woman with a history of systemic hypertension and dual-chamber pacemaker implantation for sick sinus syndrome presented to the hospital with worsening dyspnea and fatigue for several months. The chest X-ray (Figure 1A) showed a markedly enlarged cardiac silhouette along with a tubular opacity (dotted lines) paralleling the right heart border. Echocardiographic examination depicted dilated right heart chambers, right ventricular dysfunction and a high probability of pulmonary hypertension.
