Coronary Angiography of the left coronary artery (LCA) showing a long stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) and an interruption of the proximal left circumflex artery (LCX) before intervention (MOV 214 kb)

Video 2

Trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE, 4 chamber view) shows a solid tumor mass of increased echogenicity in the anterior wall of the left ventricle which involves the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve with free floating portions as a possible cause for cerebral embolism (AVI 3404 kb)

Video 3

In Cardiac MRI (4 chamber view; SSFP, steady state free precession) the tumor mass appears inhomogeneously hypointense (MOV 874 kb)
