Introduction
Diseases of the mitral and tricuspid valve are more and more recognized
as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality and are in the scope
of new treatment strategies for structural heart
interventions1,2. Despite the triumphal march of
cardiac CT and MRT, echocardiography is still the most widely available
first-line imaging modality for the heart. We present a case of the
incidental finding of nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis of the
tricuspid valve in a patient with metastatic pancreatic carcinoma
detected by point-of-care echocardiography on a non-cardiological ward.
