Left-atrial myxomas present diverse symptoms, mimicking other serious conditions. Echocardiography is crucial for diagnosing these tumors, enabling timely treatment and improved patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Left-atrial myxomas are primary cardiac tumors with varied clinical presentations.
  • Symptoms arise from blood flow obstruction, systemic embolism, or non-specific systemic effects.

Observation:

  • Three patients with left-atrial myxomas presented within six weeks.
  • Initial diagnoses considered infective endocarditis, circulatory collapse, and transient ischemic attack.

Findings:

  • Echocardiography, including m-mode, 2D, and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), confirmed the diagnosis in all cases.
  • The review details the etiology, epidemiology, pathology, and diverse clinical manifestations of left-atrial myxomas.

Implications:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis via echocardiography is vital for managing left-atrial myxomas.
