In instances where the heart (right auricle) is involved, animals may die suddenly or present in [[:Category:heart Failure|heart failure]]. Rupture of the mass and haemorrhage into the pericardial sac leads to compression of the heart, which can no longer fill with blood during diastole (cardiac tamponade).
