A 12 lead electrocardiography showed left axis deviation, low QRS voltage in lead V1–V2, 1st grade atrioventricular (AV) block, and P mitrale. Multi slice computed tomography coronary angiogram showed four-vessel cardiovascular disease, intramural tumour at right AV region affecting the TV, right coronary artery irregularity, multiple mediastinal lymphadenopathy on stations 4L, 5, and 6, and pericardial effusion.
