The American Journal of Cardiology, 1974
Abstract A case of left atrial myxoma masquerading as a cardiomyopathy is presented; the unsuspected tumor was diagnosed by stop-action cardiac ultrasonography and echocardiography. The stop-action technique complements standard echocardiography by enhancing the delineation of anatomic and spatial orientation.

The Left Atrial “Medusa Myxoma”
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2014Although myxomas are the most commonly seen primary cardiac tumors, encompassing 30% to 50% of all primary tumors of the heart, they remain a rare finding with an annual reported incidence of 0.5 per million. The presenting symptoms of an atrial myxoma are widely varied as are the clinical consequences.

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1969
Abstract Phonocardiographic clues to the diagnosis of left atrial myxoma based on 3 cases are presented. Vibrations during the isovolumic period following a first heart sound of increased amplitude, along with simultaneous vibrations in the systolic upstroke of the apex cardiogram, are clues to the presence of a left atrial myxoma.

Neovascularization in left atrial myxoma
Zeitschrift f�r Kardiologie, 2004Myxoma is the most common benign tumor of the heart. Tumor neovascularization at the angiographically detectable level is thought to be rare. We report on a 78-year-old female patient with a left atrial myxoma showing marked tumor vascularity. This observation had consequences to the therapeutic management: during tumor excision, the large supplying ...

The echocardiogram in left atrial myxoma
The American Journal of Medicine, 1973Abstract A case of left atrial myxoma is described in which the echocardiogram provided the clue to the diagnosis. The mechanisms involved in producing a positive result are discussed. The value of the echocardiogram appears to depend upon echoes from the tumor during diastole which can be detected immediately posterior to the anterior cusp of the ...

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2001
Upon examination, a 40-year-old man was found to have fever, weight loss, and malaise. A blood culture was positive for Streptococcus mutans. Under the suspicion of endocarditis, he was treated with penicillin. Echocardiography revealed a large tumor in the left atrium.

Pediatrics, 1972
A 9-year-old female presented with mitral regurgitation, heart failure, fever, abnormal serum proteins, elevated sedimentation rate, and elevated antihyaluronidase titer. At first thought to have rheumatic fever, she initially responded favorably to medical therapy which included corticosteroids.

Left Atrial Pressure Curve in Left Atrial Myxoma
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1961Left intra-atrial myxoma was first diagnosed and demonstrated during life by Steinberg and Dotter 1 and left intra-atrial thrombus by Soloff and Zatuchni. 2 Both groups used the technique of intravenous angiocardiography to demonstrate a filling defect within the left atrium.

Intraoperative Diagnosis of Left Atrial Myxoma
Anesthesia & Analgesia, 1995T he intraoperative indications for transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) remain unclear, particularly in patients without known left-ventricular dysfunction or valvular heart disease (l-3). We describe a patient who developed hypoxemia and hypotension during anesthesia for revascularization of an occluded popliteal artery.
