Key result
Radionuclide angiography successfully identified a right atrial myxoma filling defect in a 51-year-old woman after initial echocardiography revealed no abnormality.
Why the study?
Does radionuclide angiography improve the diagnosis of intracardiac tumors in patients where echocardiography is unhelpful?
Population
51-year-old woman presenting with a history of dyspnea and a right atrial myxoma (n=1)

May complement echocardiography for right atrial myxoma detection; single case leaves open broader diagnostic utility in intracardiac tumors.

Does radionuclide angiography improve the diagnosis of intracardiac tumors in patients where echocardiography is unhelpful?
Radionuclide angiography can serve as a useful noninvasive diagnostic tool for intracardiac tumors when initial echocardiography is unrevealing.
Northcote et al. (1985) conducted a case report in Right atrial myxoma (n=1). Radionuclide angiography vs. Echocardiography was evaluated on Diagnosis of intracardiac tumor. Radionuclide angiography successfully identified a right atrial myxoma filling defect in a 51-year-old woman after initial echocardiography revealed no abnormality.
