title: Oesophageal cancer with myocardial metastasis complicated by ventricular fibrillation: the role of echocardiography.
abstract: Myocardial metastasis from oesophageal cancer is very rare, and is usually detected as part of widespread metastases in the  terminal stage. It is rare to detect a solitary metastasis. We present a case of solitary myocardial metastasis from distal  oesophagus complicated by ventricular fibrillation.
