Introduction[edit | edit source]
The benign tumor known as myxoma develops from connective tissue. Cardiac myxomas are the most common type of myxomas, which are present in the heart. In the left atrium, 75% of myxomas are located, where they originate from a stalk connected to the atrial septum followed by the right atrium with 20% and the ventricles with 8%.[1]The prevalence of atrial myxomas is maximum in the fourth and sixth decade of life and mostly affects females. There are relatively few pediatric patients who have had atrial myxoma.[2]
Clinical Presentation[edit | edit source]
The following three symptoms of the common triad are seen in patients:
1. Obstructive Symptoms:[edit | edit source]
If the patient has a left-sided myxoma, the mitral valve will get blocked, resulting in left-sided heart failure, which will lead to orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, and pulmonary edema. Consequently, tricuspid stenosis and right heart failure develop in the right-sided myxoma. Typical symptoms include ascites, hepatomegaly, pedal edema, and exercise-induced dyspnea.
2. Thromboembolic Symptoms:[edit | edit source]
