Two cases are reported of left atrial myxoma in elderly patients, diagnosed by combined M-mode and bidimensional echocardiography. One patient was an 80-year-old man presenting with typical signs of mitral obstruction by an atrial tumor. His symptoms were erroneously attributed to chronic bronchitis until an echocardiogram was obtained. The other patient was a 70-year-old woman with atrial fibrillation of one year's duration. Left atrial myxoma, although rarely observed in the elderly, may be diagnosed easily by means of echocardiography. Some cases may prove amenable to surgical treatment.
报告了两例老年左心房黏液瘤病例，通过M型和二维超声心动图联合诊断。一名患者为80岁男性，表现出心房肿瘤导致二尖瓣梗阻的典型症状。在进行超声心动图检查之前，他的症状被错误地归因于慢性支气管炎。另一名患者是一名70岁女性，患有持续一年的心房颤动。左心房黏液瘤虽然在老年人中很少见，但通过超声心动图很容易诊断。一些病例可能适合手术治疗。
