case_images: (A) Chest X-ray on admission. (B) An electrocardiogram on admission. (C) A transthoracic echocardiogram on admission showing the dilatation of the right ventricle (asterisk) and the shift of intraventricular septum towards the left ventricle (arrow) (parasternal short-axis view). (D) Chest X-ray 2 months after admission. (E) An electrocardiogram 2 months after admission. (F) A transthoracic echocardiogram 2 months after admission (parasternal short-axis view). CTR, cardiothoracic ratio; LV, left ventricle; RV, right ventricle.

case_images: Chest radiography revealed cardiac enlargement and bilateral pleural effusion (Figure 1A). Electrocardiography revealed a tall R wave in lead V1, a right-axis deviation of 117 , and deep S waves in the lateral leads, suggesting right ventricular hypertrophy (Figure 1B). Transthoracic echocardiography revealed prominent dilatation of the right ventricle (Figure 1C, asterisk) and a shift of the intraventricular septum towards the left ventricle (Figure 1C, arrow). Chest radiography, electrocardiography, and echocardiography performed 2 months after admission were almost normal (Figure 1D-F).
