Voluminous Intrapericardial Lipoma Mimicking Pericardial Effusion
Lipomas are rare primary heart tumors and may involve the endocardium, myocardium, or pericardium. Signs and symptoms depend on the tumor location and size. The intrapericardial lipoma we report has massive dimensions and mimics a pericardial effusion. A

Left Bundle Branch Pacing in a Patient With Dextroposed Heart: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The Right Ventricular (RV) apex has been the standard site for pacing in symptomatic bradyarrhythmias, but chronic RV pacing can cause adverse effects such as atrial arrhythmias and left ventricular dysfunction. Physiological pacing, including His bundle and left bundle pacing, offers alternatives with fewer complications. We present a 66‐year‐
