Clinical and laboratory manifestations, ECG findings, and outcomes of right atrial myxoma: a systematic review of cases reported worldwide. Egypt Heart J 2024; 76:125. [PMID: 39266935 PMCID: PMC11393240 DOI: 10.1186/s43044-024-00550-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 08/28/2024] [Indexed: 09/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of cardiac myxoma in the right atrium (RA) is rare. There is limited knowledge regarding the clinical symptoms and diagnosis of RA myxoma. This systematic review aimed to provide a summary of the clinical and laboratory characteristics, electrocardiogram (ECG) findings, and outcome previous cases with RA myxoma. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus to identify relevant studies. Inclusion criteria were case reports and case series written in English that provided sufficient data on the manifestation of RA myxoma. Descriptive statistics were used for quantitative analysis. RESULTS The search identified 619 patients from 480 eligible studies. The patient's mean age was 45.7 ± 17.6 years, and 55.4% of cases were female. The most common clinical manifestations of RA myxoma were cardiac, systemic, and neurologic manifestations which reported in 77.0%, 34.8%, and 21.1% of cases, respectively. Besides, 11.7% of RA myxoma were asymptomatic. ECG findings revealed normal in 39.4% reported cases. The ECG abnormalities included tall or peaked P-wave, RA and LA enlargement (19.2%), abnormal T-wave (14.0%), sinus tachycardia (11.8%), and incomplete or complete RBBB (11.2%). Echocardiography remained the diagnostic method in a majority of the cases. The mortality rate of RA myxoma was low (9.2%) during the follow-up. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review provides a comprehensive summary of the clinical and laboratory manifestations and outcomes of RA myxoma, contributing to the existing knowledge on this rare cardiac tumor.

Abstract
Cardiac myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor. However, existing literature mainly consists of single-center experiences with limited subjects. This systematic review aimed to provide data on clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of cardiac myxoma. We performed a thorough literature search on May 23, 2023 on PubMed, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science. The inclusion criteria were English full-text, observational studies, and included >20 subjects. From the search, 112 studies with a total of 8150 patients were included in the analysis. The mean age was 51 years (95 % confidence interval [95%CI] = 49.1-52.3), and the majority were females (64.3 % [95 % CI = 62.8-65.8 %]). The most common clinical manifestation was cardiovascular symptoms. Echocardiography can diagnose almost all cases (98.1 % [95 % CI = 95.8-99.6 %]). Cardiac myxoma was mostly prevalent in left atrium (85.3 % [95%CI = 83.3-87 %]) and predominantly with pedunculated morphology (75.6 % [95%CI = 64.1-84.3 %]). Post-tumor excision outcomes were excellent, with an early mortality of 1.27 % (95 % CI = 0.8-1.8 %), late mortality rate of 4.7 (95 % CI = 2.5-7.4) per 1000 person-years, and recurrence rate at 0.5 (95 % CI = 0.0-1.1) per 1000 person-years. Tumor excision is warranted in a timely manner once the cardiac myxoma diagnosis is established.

Abstract
This scoping review aims to explore the relationship between cardiac myxomas (CMs) and paraneoplastic syndromes (PS). CMs are the most common tumors in the heart, with the majority located in the left atrium, and are often associated with a triad of obstructive, embolic, and constitutional symptoms. However, they can also present with unrelated symptoms that are part of a PS. This study performed a thorough literature search of 11 databases and included 12 papers in the final review. All of the patients were diagnosed with atrial myxoma, which initially presented as a PS. Surgery was the curative measure in all cases and resulted in remission in every case, with patients reporting resolution of symptoms at follow-up. The majority of patients in the study were female, with comorbid rheumatologic conditions often present. This study highlights the heterogeneity of presentations of CMs and their associated PS.
