Atrial Myxomas Causing Severe Left and Right Ventricular Dysfunction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Myxomas are the most common cardiac tumors, accounting for about 50% of benign primary cardiac tumors, with the majority located in the left atrium, and 80% of which originate in the interatrial septum. We report two cases with severe cachexia, neurological sequelae, and severe biventricle dysfunction secondary to atrial myxomas with marked early improvement after tumor excision.

An unusual association: right atrial myxoma and severe left ventricular dysfunction. Case report and review of the literature.
Myxomas comprise 50% of all benign cardiac tumors in adults, with the right atrium as their second most frequent site of origin. Surgical resection is the only effective therapeutic option for patients with these tumors. The association between right atrial myxomas and severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction is extremely rare and makes treatment even more challenging. This was the case for...

In this report we present a patient who had been treated for a right ventricular myxoma originating from the interventricular septum and leading to right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Atrial myxomas are the most common benign tumour of the heart. They progressively grow in size, varying from 2 cm to 6 cm, based on previous reports. They can mimic mitral stenosis when they block the mitral valve outlet, and present with right heart dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension. Atrial myxomas are usually associated with a good prognosis when resected. Echocardiography is the primary...

A 71-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a 6-month history of progressive dyspnea on exertion. He had diabetes mellitus on medications. On physical examination, his pulse rate was 90 bpm and blood pressure was 100/70 mm Hg. A low-frequency diastolic heart murmur was heard at the apex without systolic murmur. Blood chemistry levels were within normal range. The 12-lead ECG showed a si...
متن کاملReport of a right ventricular outflow tract myxoma in a young adult
Background Primary cardiac masses are rare and usually benign. Myxomas are usually seen in adults, accounting for 25%-40% of all cardiac tumors from birth to adolescence. The majority of myxomas (75%) are located in the left atrium. Right ventricular myxomas are very rare, only found in 2%-4% of cases. The most important distinguishing feature of a myxoma is the characteristic narrow stalk and ...
