Atrial myxomas are a rare phenomenon and although benign, primary neoplasms of the heart can be burdensome depending on their location. Clinical symptoms are caused through a variety of mechanisms including conduction disturbances, obstruction, and valvular interference. Size and symptom development are strongly correlated and can almost always be detected by the use of echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography. This is a case of a 62-year-old female with no significant past medical history presented to our facility with complaints of palpitations and associated dizziness for three months.
心房黏液瘤是一种罕见现象，虽然是良性的，但心脏原发性肿瘤根据其位置可能会造成负担。临床症状是由多种机制引起的，包括传导障碍、阻塞和瓣膜干扰。肿瘤大小与症状发展密切相关，几乎总能通过超声心动图、磁共振成像或计算机断层扫描检测到。这是一例62岁女性患者，既往无重大病史，因心悸及相关头晕症状3个月前来我院就诊。
