May guide left atrial imaging suspicion; leaves open mechanistic and outcome studies in broader cohorts.
Observational (n=66)
Cardiac myxoma predominantly affects the left atrium in women and exhibits positive immunohistochemical staining for vimentin and CD34.
Zheng et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Cardiac myxoma (n=66). Cardiac myxoma was evaluated on Clinical, pathological, and immunohistochemical features. Cardiac myxoma predominantly involved the left atrium (61 of 66 cases) and was more common in women (2.7:1 ratio), presenting with blood flow obstruction and arterial embolization.
