Abstract

Cystic hydatid disease is a common health problem in low- and middle-income countries. It commonly affects the liver and lungs. Cardiac involvement is a relatively rare manifestation. Among all infected patients, 0.5-2% exhibit cardiac hydatidosis. Cardiac hydatid cyst is a diagnostic challenge. It can cause fatal complications, including anaphylactic shock, systemic or pulmonary embolism, dissemination, arrhythmias, valvular dysfunction or sudden death.
