Overview
The prevalence of cardiac myxoma is reported as 0.03% in general population.[1]The incidence of benign cardiac tumor including Myxoma is about 250 per 100,000 persons.[2]
Myxoma is a rare disease, with an average onset between 30 to 60 years. Females are more commonly affected with cardiac myxoma than males. The F:M ratio is approximately 1.8 to 1.[1]
