Giant Right Atrial Myxoma Presenting With Right Heart Failure
Right atrial myxomas (RAMs) are exceedingly rare cardiac tumors that can incur devastating complications. These tumors are capable of producing right-sided heart failure (rHF) through obstruction of venous return and tricuspid inflow. Herein, we describe a 52-year-old woman presenting with classic s...

| description | Right atrial myxomas (RAMs) are exceedingly rare cardiac tumors that can incur devastating complications. These tumors are capable of producing right-sided heart failure (rHF) through obstruction of venous return and tricuspid inflow. Herein, we describe a 52-year-old woman presenting with classic symptomatology of rHF as clinical sequelae of a giant RAM. The clinician should be cognizant of RAMs as an atypical etiology of rHF, and the complementary imaging modalities in the diagnostic work-up and early surgical resection as key management strategies. |
