Abstract :
This case discusses a patient who presented with symptoms of dyspnea and
cough. Prior to being seen and admitted, the patient was seen multiple times
over a one month period with complaints of intermittent chest pain, most
notable in the retrosternal region, and frequent heart palpitations. Cardiac
monitoring of the patient revealed multifocal atrial tachycardia over
multiple ECG, the cause of which was later revealed to be a pericardial cyst
located in the right atrium on CTscan and transesophageal echocardiogram.
