About Video

Live/real-time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography. Arrow in the shortaxis views in a young Asian Indian policeman shows a large mass in the left ventricle (LV), which represents a hydatid cyst that had become smaller since the previous study done a few years ago. This collapse of the hydatid cyst could have been spontaneous or may be related to antihelminthic albendazole therapy, which had been given to this patient.
