Secondary cardiac tumours are rare. The new diagnostic technology and more effective chemotherapy schedules for primary tumours, leading to a longer survival, have increased the frequency of such tumors. Adenocarcinoma accounted for around 40% of all metastases to the heart; the most frequently involved sites are pericardium and epicardium. We present a patient with an unusual intraventricular metastases from adenocarcinoma of rectal-sigmoid origin.

Ejection dynamics through aortic valve, particularly AT/ET ratio, is a useful tool for assessing aortic stenosis severity, with a good correlation with flow-independent parameters in aortic stenosis.
