The authors report the case of a right ventricular metastasis presenting with ventricular tachycardia and underline the usual diagnostic problems of secondary cardiac tumours, the symptoms of which are often unspecific and late. The appearance of a cardiac arrhythmia in the absence of known cardiac disease should raise the possibility of a cardiac metastasis in patients with malignant disease. The reported case also illustrates the diagnostic value of non-invasive cardiac imaging techniques (echocardiography and ultra-fast computerised tomography) in this context.
作者报告了一例以室性心动过速为表现的右心室转移瘤病例，并强调了继发性心脏肿瘤常见的诊断问题，其症状通常不具特异性且出现较晚。在无已知心脏疾病的情况下出现心律失常，应提高恶性疾病患者发生心脏转移的可能性。该报告病例还说明了在这种情况下非侵入性心脏成像技术（超声心动图和超快速计算机断层扫描）的诊断价值。
