LV myxoma on papillary muscle can cause sudden death; extends single prior report but leaves screening and management questions open.
Case Report (n=1)
Left ventricular myxomas, though rare and often clinically silent, have the potential to cause sudden cardiac death.
Kitchin et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Left ventricular myxoma (n=1). Left ventricular myxoma was evaluated on Sudden cardiac death. A clinically silent left ventricular myxoma attached to the anterior papillary muscle was identified at autopsy as the cause of sudden cardiac death in a 32-year-old man.
