Abstract
Cerebral or peripheral embolism is a frequent indication for echocardiographic studies to rule out a cardiac mass or any other potential source of embolism. Behind the diagnosis “cardiac mass” is a broad spectrum of pathologies to be taken into account: primary or secondary cardiac tumors are rare clinical conditions but are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, while intracardiac thrombi are more frequent. Other potential cardiac sources of embolism are patent foramen ovale, degenerative valvular alterations, endocarditis, or aortic pathologies.
