Abstract:
The major advanced clinical feature of gout is tophi, which affects the heart very rarely. We present a case of recurrent ventricular arrhythmia in a 49-year-old male who had chronic gout for 10 years. The color Doppler echocardiography was performed and found multiple hyperechoic, ovalshaped masses on the mitral annulus, left ventricle wall, and chordae tendineae, along with multiple hyperdense were found in Computed Tomography (CT) of the heart.
