RESUMO
Chest pain is one of the common complaints a patient presents to the healthcare provider. It needs prompt evaluation to determine the cause and origin. Angina occurs when myocardial oxygen demand exceeds oxygen supply; the clinical manifestation is often chest discomfort. Atherosclerotic disease is the major cause of angina. However, several non-atherosclerotic conditions have been studied and reported in the literature that causes angina in rarity. We describe a case of coronary artery fistula (CAF) likely causing angina.
RESUMO
Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma (CPF) is one of the most common neoplasms of the cardiac valvular structures that are associated with complications such as systemic stroke, embolism, and arrhythmias. We present a case of an incidentally discovered left ventricular mass in a 75-year-old Caucasian woman.
