Abstract
|
|
|
|
External compression of the right ventricle (RV) due to a depressed sternum in patients with pectus excavatum is uncommon. Moreover, mid-RV obstruction-induced cachexia rarely occurs in patients with pectus excavatum. We report a case of cardiac cachexia caused by significant RV compression in a patient with pectus excavatum.
