Reports first population-based cardiac myxoma incidence; leaves open generalizability and need for multinational validation.
Observational (n=9)
This study provides the first population-based age-standardized incidence rate for cardiac myxoma, estimated at 0.11 per 100,000 in Iceland.
Sigurjónsson et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Cardiac myxoma (n=9). Cardiac myxoma was evaluated on Age-standardized incidence rate (ASR) per 100,000 (95% CI 0.05-0.22). The age-standardized incidence rate of cardiac myxoma in Iceland between 1986 and 2010 was estimated at 0.11 per 100,000 (95% CI: 0.05-0.22).
