Echocardiographic examination revealed intracardiac calcification in 20 out of 70 chronically dialysed patients. The process appeared more frequently in those suffering from severe renal osteodystrophy. It was often associated with rhythm disorder. Parathyroid hyperfunction is rated as one cause of intracardiac calcification.

Background: Arrhythmias originating from papillary muscles (PAPs) can be challenging when targeted with catheter ablation. The prevalence and impact of structural abnormalities on PAPs in patients with focal PAP arrhythmias is unknown.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze, in a consecutive patient series with focal PAP arrhythmias, the impact of structural abnormalities detected by multimodality imaging.

A 51-year-old patient with progressive right heart dysfunction was found to have a large calcified right atrial mass on echocardiography. As part of the work up for an intracardiac mass he had a cardiac computed tomogram which detailed a large coronary cameral fistula from the circumflex coronary artery to the right atrium associated with a spherical calcific pseudo-aneurysmal sac. Transcatheter occlusion of the exit point into the atrium with a vascular plug was performed directly from a right atrial approach without the need for an arteriovenous wire loop.

A 68-year-old woman presented with an incidentally found intracardiac mass. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) showed a 26 × 8 mm mobile mass attached to a calcified posterolateral mitral annulus. The mass was removed with a commercially available percutaneous catheter system using cerebral embolic protection and TEE guidance.

Unlabelled: Primary cardiac sarcomas are rare and sometimes difficult to discern from benign tumors and intracardiac thrombi. We describe the ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT findings in a case of left atrial undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma with osteosarcomatous differentiation, presenting with severe mitral regurgitation and pulmonary hypertension. The tumor presented as a broad-base mass protruding into the cardiac lumen, accompanied by punctate calcification-like high attenuation on CT.
