Large Subcutaneous Mass Adjacent to the Left Ventricular Apex
Two-dimensional speckle tracking helped determine whether the tumor adjacent to the left ventricular apex had infiltrated the pericardium. The peak strain value remains unaffected, although the peak timing in the area adjacent to the tumor is delayed. Consequently, the tumor was determined not to have infiltrated the pericardium.
