[Heart angiosarcoma: heart magnetic resonance diagnosis]. / Angiosarcoma cardíaco: diagnóstico por resonancia magnética cardíaca.

The case of a young male with a primary cardiac angiosarcoma of the right atrium is reported. The patient presented with a relapsing cardiac tamponade due to hemopericardium, the diagnosis being made by magnetic resonance. The resection of the tumor did not prevent an adverse outcome, as the patient died due to metastatic dissemination.

Study Group on Angina Pectoris of the Ischemic Cardiopathy and Coronary Units Section of the Spanish Society of Cardiology]. / Revascularización miocárdica en la angina de pecho. Grupo de Estudio de Angina de Pecho de la Sección de Cardiopatía Isquémica y Unidades Coronarias de la Sociedad Española de Cardiología.

Ischemic pain relief and survival are the targets of the revascularization treatment in angina pectoris. The authors describe the clinical and anatomic indications for revascularization in angina and the reasons for the election between surgery and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

[Perioperative monitoring using transesophageal echocardiography in a case of endocarditis-related tricuspid valve disease]. / Monitorización perioperatoria con ecocardiografía transesofágica en un caso de valvulopatía tricuspídea por endocarditis.

The risk of infectious endocarditis is higher for intravenous drug users than for patients with either rheumatic disease or valve prostheses. We report the case of a 33-year-old woman who self-administered opioid drugs parenterally and who developed a clinical picture of infectious endocarditis. Serious involvement of the tricuspid valve developed in the form of vegetation requiring surgical repair, during which transesophageal echocardiography was used for perioperative monitoring.
