Overview
Common risk factors in the development of myxoma are female gender and genetic predisposition. In some cases, right atrial myxoma has been associated with tricuspid stenosis and atrial fibrillation.
Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of myxoma are:
- Female gender
- Genetic predisposition (Carney complex)
- In some cases, right atrial myxoma has been associated with tricuspid stenosis and atrial fibrillation.
- Risk factors for the embolism in myxoma include the following:[1]
- Tumor location
- Macroscopic appearance
- Platelet volume
- High platelet count
