Clinical characteristics, diagnostic methods and results of surgically treated histologically benign cardiac myxomas
CONCLUSIONS: Myxomas are benign tumours, but they are serious pathologies that require early treatment because of signs of obstruction, embolic complications and confusion, with left atrial thrombus in the differential diagnosis.PMID:36752152 | DOI:10.5830/CVJA-2022-069

Cardiac myxomas: clinical presentation, diagnosis and management
Cardiac myxomas (CM) are the most common type of primary cardiac tumours in adults, which have an approximate incidence of up to 0.2% in some autopsy series. The purpose of this review is to summarise the literature on CM, including clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, work-up including imaging modalities and histopathology, management, and prognosis. CM are benign neoplasms developed from multipotent mesenchyme and usually present as an undifferentiated atrial mass. They are typically pedunculated and attached at the fossa ovalis, on the left side of the atrial septum. Potentially life-threatening, the presence ...

Getting to the Heart of the Matter: Myocardial Injury, Coagulopathy, and Other Potential Cardiovascular Implications of COVID-19
Int J Vasc Med. 2021 Apr 22;2021:6693895. doi: 10.1155/2021/6693895. eCollection 2021.ABSTRACTCOVID-19 was primarily identified as a respiratory illness, but reports of patients presenting initially with cardiovascular complaints are rapidly emerging. Many patients also develop cardiovascular complications during and after COVID-19 infection. Underlying cardiovascular disease increases the severity of COVID-19 infection; however, it is unclear if COVID-19 increases the risk of or causes cardiovascular complications in patients without preexisting cardiovascular disease. The review is aimed at informing the primary care phy...
