Overview
Cardiac myxoma is a rare disease, with a reported prevalence of 0.01% in general population.[1] The incidence of benign cardiac tumor including myxoma is about 250 per 100,000 persons.[2] The average age onset of this condition is between 30-60 years were females are more commonly affected than males. The F:M ratio is approximately 1.8 to 1.[1]Cardiac myxomas represent 78% of heart tumors.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- The prevalence of cardiac myxoma is reported as 0.01% in general population
Incidence
- The incidence of benign cardiac tumor including Myxoma is about 250 per 100,000 persons
Age
- The mean age patients at diagnosis is 50 years, most patients are in 30-60 age range. However, in pediatric population is more likely to be related with familial or multiple distribution (Carney complex) were there is no established sex predisposition.
Gender
- Myxomas are more common in females with a female:male ratio of 1.8:1[1]
