Overview
Electrocardiographic findings on cardiac myxoma are nonspecific.[1]
Key EKG Finding in Myxoma
Electrocardiographic findings on cardiac myxoma are nonspecific and often normal.[2] EKG may reflect the hemodynamic alterations that result from tumor size, such as atrial overload or ventricular hypertrophy.[1] Moreover, cardiac rhythm tends to be normal sinus(NSR) and atrial fibrillation is uncommon.
According to tumor location, long-term electrocardiographic monitoring may demonstrate supraventricular arrhythmias in atrial tumors and ventricular arrhythmias in ventricular tumors.[1]
