Prompts echocardiography in unexplained cardiomyopathy with systemic features; extends sparse LV myxoma reports but leaves open broader implications.
Case Report (n=1)
Left ventricular myxomas are extremely rare and can present with non-specific systemic symptoms and rapidly progress to severe heart failure and death.
Ramachandran Muthiah (2016) conducted a case report in Left ventricular myxoma (n=1). Transthoracic two-dimensional echocardiographic imaging was evaluated. A rare left ventricular myxoma masquerading as infectious hepatitis and dilated cardiomyopathy with an ejection fraction of 20% was diagnosed in a 29-year-old male using echocardiography.
