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.
在一家医院的15个月期间内检测到6例左心房黏液瘤。这些肿瘤并不像曾经认为的那么罕见,并且它们经常引起全身问题。诊断可能很容易被漏诊,但超声心动图是确立诊断的一种简单方法。切除肿瘤通常会导致症状明显改善。
