Cardiac myxoma is a benign neoplasm, when it is located in the left atrium it is potentially associated with systemic embolism, and it is a rare cause of cerebral embolism. The diagnosis of cardiac myxoma is usually incidental, being found as a result of searching for other clinical conditions. We present the case of a patient who probably had a cardiac myxoma of the left atrium that induced a malignant infarction in the territory of the left medial cerebral artery, bedside heart ultrasound was a relevant diagnostic procedure in this patient.

Covid-19 disease shows many different manifestations, from common symptoms affecting both the upper and lower respiratory tract, and also sensorial alterations such as anosmia or taste perversion. Heart valve thrombosis and subsequent endocarditis are extremely rare manifestations and they have been scarcely described within the context of Covid-19. We present a case of a patient that was positive for SARS-Cov-2, who developed Staphylococcus hominis bacteremia. Afterwards, he developed persistent fever, and after ruling out some differential diagnoses, a diagnosis of infective endocarditis affecting a native healthy aortic valve was made, using cardiac ultrasonography. This occurrence was considered to be hospital-acquired.
