Abstract:
A man in his 20s with a history of laryngeal synovial sarcoma presented with dyspnoea. Imaging revealed a large right ventricular (RV) mass, which was resected, and histological analysis indicated synovial sarcoma recurrence. Within 1 month of RV mass resection, the tumour progressed with paratracheal metastasis. The lumen was nearly obliterated, and right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction led to rapid deterioration with mixed cardiogenic and obstructive shock. We present a rare case of primary laryngeal synovial sarcoma metastasising to the heart.

Blood Pressure Imbalances and Circulatory Shock
Blood Pressure: Hypertension and Hypotension
Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg. Elevated blood pressure is 120-129/under 80 mm Hg. Hypertension, warranting treatment at 130/80 mm Hg, is often asymptomatic and can lead to severe cardiovascular events, aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease, chronic renal disease, or cardiac...
