Abstract: While cardiac involvement is not a common presentation in human echinococcosis, it may lead to life-threatening complications including cyst rupture; anaphylactic shock; tamponade; pulmonary, cerebral or peripheral arterial embolism; acute coronary syndrome; dysrhythmias; infection; ventricular or valvular dysfunction, as well as sudden death.

“…5 Cardiac symptoms range from space-occupying effects causing low cardiac output states, heart failure or valvular dysfunction. 9 Invasion and irritation of the conduction pathways lead to dysrhythmias, palpitations, syncope or sudden death. 9 Hydatid cysts can rupture causing pericardial tamponade, pericarditis or systemic dissemination of antigenic material with life-threatening anaphylaxis.…”

There was no cyst in other organs or tissues.…”
