Both patients were female, the first, 25, and the second, 72 years old. The younger patient was very symptomatic w...

متن کاملMolecular Basis of Cardiac Myxomas
Cardiac tumors are rare, and of these, primary cardiac tumors are even rarer. Metastatic cardiac tumors are about 100 times more common than the primary tumors. About 90% of primary cardiac tumors are benign, and of these the most common are cardiac myxomas. Approximately 12% of primary cardiac tumors are completely asymptomatic while others present with one or more signs and symptoms of the cl...
