Background We present two clinical cases from a single institution where a final diagnosis of cardiac failure was made following the initial finding of ascites and an elevated CA 125 level. In both cases gynaecological malignancy was initially suspected. Methods Following negative confirmatory tests for gynaecological malignancy, echocardiography was undertaken. Results Patient 1 had severe right ventricular dilatation and dysfunction. Patient 2 had biventricular dysfunction with pulmonary hypertension. Both patients responded to standard therapy for heart failure, including loop diuretics.
