Implication

Hypothesis-generating for MRI in myxoma diagnosis; larger studies needed to confirm vs angiography and surgical safety.

Structured PICO

Population

28 patients who underwent excision of cardiac myxoma between 1998 and 2005

Intervention

Multimodal imaging (echocardiography, coronary angiography, MRI) and surgical excision

Outcome

Diagnostic findings of imaging modalities and operative outcome (hospital mortality, major complications, mid-term survival)

Cardiac MRI provides specific tissue characteristics that facilitate the preoperative diagnosis of cardiac myxoma better than echocardiography or coronary angiography, and prompt surgical excision yields excellent outcomes.
