Transthoracic Echocardiogram. 2D TTE image demonstrates the sarcoma infiltrating the pulmonic valve (Panel a) leading to marked flow acceleration across the pulmonic valve on color Doppler imaging (Panel b) and spectral Doppler tracing with a peak velocity of 4.6 m/s and a peak gradient of 84 mmHg (Panel c). The presence of marked right ventricular hypertrophy (Panel d) implies chronic pressure overload of the right ventricle. Abbreviations: AV, aortic valve; LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle; MPA, main pulmonary artery; RA, right atrium; RV, right ventricle; RVOT, right ventricular outflow tract
