Right-sided myxoma merits consideration in unexplained syncope; leaves open questions on prevalence and management.
Case Report (n=1)
Early diagnosis and resection of right-sided cardiac myxomas can resolve severe symptoms like syncope and prevent complications such as right-sided heart failure.
Saadeh et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Right atrioventricular myxoma (n=1). Tumor resection was evaluated on Resolution of syncopal attacks and shortness of breath. Tumor resection in a 38-year-old woman with a right atrioventricular myxoma completely resolved her recurrent syncopal attacks and shortness of breath.
