Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: A 63-year-old female presented with the right heart failure, on evaluation, a two-dimensional echocardiogram showed a huge left atrial mass causing pseudo-obstruction and right ventricular (RV) failure. Following stabilization and prompt tumor excision, the patient’s RV dysfunction improved. Atrial myxomas can manifest as constitutional embolic or obstructive symptoms. Usually, the right-sided myxomas cause RV dysfunction, but, in this case, atrial myxoma caused RV dysfunction with timely intervention the outcome became better.
