“…Electrocardiograms show nonspecific repolarization changes, atrioventricular blocks, and premature ventricular complexes. 6 Echocardiography is the best initial imaging modality, due to wide availability and high sensitivity. The hydatid cyst is seen as a mixed echogenic mass, with a detached membrane being the only diagnostic sign.…”

“…The hydatid cyst is seen as a mixed echogenic mass, with a detached membrane being the only diagnostic sign. 6 For cardiac hydatid disease, results are better when treated surgically compared to conservative management, hence, even asymptomatic patients should be considered for surgery. 7 Resection on cardiopulmonary bypass is safest because the risk of spillage is reduced.…”

“…The ideal initial imaging modality is echocardiography because of its great sensitivity and widespread availability. The only diagnostic feature of a hydatid cyst is a detached membrane, which is observed as a mixed echogenic mass (Vurdem et al, 2015). Surgical management is regarded as the gold standard for treatment and primarily affects the lungs (30%) and liver (60-70%).…”

Cardiac echinococcosis is a rare but mortal disease. The primary goal of this study was to quantitatively examine, using bibliometrics tools, the publications and assess the hot issues and new directions in cardiac echinococcosis research from 1970 to December 2021. We only included "journal articles" and "reviews" in the study. The ‘cardiac echinococcosis’ or ‘cardiac hydatid disease’ or ‘echinococcal heart disease’ keywords were used for the search. The search covered the years 1970 through December 2021. The data was extracted from the Web of Science database. Vosviewer software was used for network mapping. The research's findings, which were based on the search strategy used, showed that between 1970 and 2022, there were 425 articles and reviews on cardiac echinococcosis that had been indexed in the Wos database. Most of the papers were from Turkey (n=152). India (n=29), Iran (n=29), Tunisia (n=26) and France (n=22) were the other top publishing countries. The first publication was published in 1991. Although the number of publications increased after 1996, it emphasizes an irregular distribution. The publications were cited 3900 times in total and 9.18 times per publication and the mean of H-indexes were 28. There was an increase in the number of citations after 1995. There were 151 publications from Turkey and these publications were cited 1,327 times total, 8.79 per publication, and the mean H index was 18. The number of publications was not at the expected rate. The findings of our study may be helpful to researchers researching cardiac echinococcosis.

Introduction Pericardial hydatid cyst comprises 7% of all cardiac hydatidosis, but its occurrence is concomitant with several life-threatening complications. This study is a review of the reported studies of pericardial hydatid cysts. Methods A systematic review of the published studies of pericardial hydatid cysts was conducted. The studies of cardiac hydatid cysts with the following properties were included: 1) The pericardium infection was confirmed by diagnostic modalities, surgical findings, or histopathology. 2) The case presentation was provided in the study. 3) The cyst (s) originally located or adhered to the pericardium and did not rupture into it from the other adjacent cardiac structures or organs. Results Overall, 106 studies were compatible with the inclusion criteria. Most of the cases (29.72%) were reported in Turkey, followed by India (18.24%). There was no gender predilection, and the age of the patients was distributed between 5 and 80 years old. The most common symptoms were chest pain (43%), and dyspnea (36%). Hydatid cysts were only found in the pericardium in 56% of cases and multiloculated in 44%. Surgery was the treatment of choice (87.8%), and cystectomy (72.3%) was the major technique of cyst removal. The total number of recurrences was 3 cases (2%). There was a significant correlation between recurrence and the history of hydatidosis. The mortality rate was 2.7%. Conclusion Pericardial hydatid disease is more common in subtropical regions. The definitive treatment of a pericardial hydatid cyst is surgery, mainly through a median sternotomy. A history of hydatidosis increases the likelihood of recurrence.
