  • Title: Left atrial myxoma: report of six cases and review of the literature.
    Author: Paulsen W, Nolewajka AJ, Boughner DR, Kostuk WJ, Heimbecker RO, McKenzie FN.
    Journal: Can Med Assoc J; 1980 Sep 20; 123(6):518-23. PubMed ID: 7437972.
    Abstract:
    Six left atrial myxomas were detected at one hospital in a 15-month period. These tumours are not as rare as was once thought and they frequently cause systemic problems. The diagnosis may easily be missed, but echocardiography is a simple way of establishing the diagnosis. Excision of the tumour usually results in marked symptomatic improvement.
