“…Constitutional symptoms and raised inflammatory markers are common, 4,16 , 20−25 mimicking connective tissue disease, infection, or malignancy 4,16 , 26 . Cardiac symptoms of left atrial myxomas include exertional dyspnoea, orthopnoea, acute pulmonary oedema 4,6 , 21,27−29 and of right sided myxomas are syncope, sudden death, right heart failure 30,31 . Left sided tumours are more likely to embolise, but even right sided myxomas may do so through an atrial septal defect or a patent foramen ovale 32,33 .…”

Patients who presented with neurological complications of cardiac myxoma were young and stroke was by far the most common single presentation. Importantly, when all clinical manifestations were considered, almost half were potentially reversible. In recent years, echocardiography has made significant contribution to establishing the diagnosis less invasively. There is uncertainty about the role of anticoagulants. The treatment of choice remains surgical excision, although the timing post stroke is debatable. There is a need for large scale collaborative studies to help refine management strategies.

“…These changes developed over the course of approximately seven weeks. In the case of right atrial myxoma reported by Adams et al (1961) the electrocardiogram showed the development of large right atrial P waves associated with great reduction in the QRS voltage in leads I, II, and III over the longer interval of some three years. The P waves became large in three weeks in the case showing obstruction of the mitral valve by a secondary deposit from an ovarian tumour (Lloyd et al, 1961).…”

(Fig. 1) showed sinus tachycardia, prominent right atrial P waves (15 mm.), and left axis deviation. The QRS complexes in leads I, II, III, CR4, and CR7, respectively measured 8 5, 4 0, 8-0, 12, and 9 mm.(1 cm.=1 mV). Further investigations were: hemoglobin 13 8 g./100 ml.; white blood cell count 9,700 c. mm. with normal differential; E.S.R. 1 mm. in 1 hour (Westergren); plasma albumin 3 5, globulin 2 5 g./100 ml.; thymol turbidity 4 units; zinc sulphate turbidity 4-1 units; serum bilirubin 2-2 mg./100 ml.; alkaline phosphatase 22 KingArmstrong units/100 ml.; prothrombin index between 62 and 76 per cent of normal and not rising after the administration of vitamin Kl. Serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase 32 units per ml.
