Key result
Urgent surgical resection resolves troponin-positive chest pain caused by massive LA myxoma.
Why the study?
Atrial myxomas have variable clinical presentations that often pose diagnostic challenges, particularly when presenting with troponin-positive chest pain.

May support echocardiography in unexplained troponin-positive chest pain; leaves open systematic study of myxoma management.
Atrial myxomas are the most prevalent primary cardiac tumors. The clinical presentation is variable and often poses a diagnostic challenge. Here we describe the case of a 52-year-old woman who presented with troponin-positive chest pain, exertional dizziness, and dyspnea as a consequence of a massive left atrial myxoma, which was successfully treated with surgical resection.

Kearney et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Left atrial myxoma (n=1). Surgical resection was evaluated on Post-operative recovery. Urgent surgical resection successfully treated a 52-year-old woman presenting with troponin-positive chest pain caused by a massive left atrial myxoma.
