Variable Presentations of Left Atrial Myxomas: A Case Series

Left atrial myxomas are commonly missed clinically and often lead to grave consequences. A high degree of suspicion is required for diagnosing myxomas clinically. We present here a series of three cases which presented with absolutely different clinical signs and came out to be myxomas on echocardiography. The first case was a female who presented with shortness of breath and anasacrca and was being clinically treated as COPD with cor pulmonale, the second was a 70 year old female who had presented with dyspnea on exertion and was being treated as mitral stenosis, and the third case was a research scholar who was being treated as bronchial asthma.
