What is Atrial Myxoma?

An Atrial Myxoma is a benign tumour of the heart, commonly found within the left and right atria on the interatrial septum.

What are the causes of Atrial Myxoma?

Myxomas are primary heart tumours which mean they have their origin somewhere in the heart tissues. About 75 % of myxomas generally occur in the left atrium of the heart, usually beginning in the wall that divides the 2 upper chambers of the heart. The rest are in the right atrium. Right atrial myxomas are sometimes associated with tricuspid stenosis and atrial fibrillation. Myxomas are more common in women. About 10 % myxomas are passed down through families (inherited). Such tumours are called familial myxomas. They tend to occur in more than one part of the heart at a time, and often cause symptoms at a younger age than other myxomas.

What are the symptoms of Myxomas?

Symptoms may occur at any time, but most often they accompany a change of body position. Symptoms may be:

• Shortness of breath with activity
• Difficulty breathing in the upright position with relief in the supine position (a position of the body , lying with face up) known as Platypnoea
• Breathing difficulty when asleep known as Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
• Dizziness
• Fainting
• Sensation of feeling your heart beat known as Palpitation
• Chest pain or tightness

Other Symptoms are:

• Cough
• Fever
• Involuntary weight loss known as Cachexia
• General discomfort known as malaise
• Joint pain
• Blueness of skin, especially the fingers known as Raynaud’s phenomenon

How myxomas are diagnosed?

A few tests will be prescribed by the doctor to diagnose the myxomas, which may include:

• Echocardiogram and Doppler Study
• Chest X-Ray
• CT scan of chest
• Heart MRI
• Angiogram
• ECG

What are the treatments available for the treating myxoma?

The tumour must be removed surgically. Some patients will also need their mitral valve replaced. This can be done during the same surgery. Myxomas may come back if surgery did not remove all of the tumour cells.

Payment Options:

• BY CASH OR CREDIT / DEBIT CARD.
