Myocardial Infarction as an Alert to the Presence of Left Atrial Myxoma
Albouaini, Khaled; Boghossian, Shahe & Alkarmi, Amr
Abstract
Cardiac Myxomas constitute more than half of the benign cardiac tumours. Embolic events occur in 30 percent of cardiac myxomas. In this report we present a case where an echocardiography was a pivotal tool in the diagnosis of a probable cardiac embolic source in a patient who presented with acute myocardial infarction and failed to reperfuse after thrombolysis.
