Clinical presentation of cardiac myxoma in a Singapore national cardiac centre.

CONCLUSION: In our study, a majority of patients were women, with a wide age range of 18–78 years. The diagnosis of asymptomatic cardiac myxoma was present in 28.4% of patients, with an increasing trend for incidence over the years. This is possibly due to increased opportunistic screening (with electrocardiogram and clinical examination) as well as higher usage of medical imaging.
