Overview
Other diagnostic study for cardiac myxoma includes cardiac angiography, which often demonstrates contrast media-enhanced tumor vasculature. [1]
Other Imaging Findings
Cardiac Angiography
The angiographic findings of cardiac myxoma demonstrate feeding vessels, contrast medium poolings, and clusters of tortuous vessels that correspond to tumor vasculature. In some cases, it is considered appropriate that older patients undergo coronary angiography to rule out the presence of ischemic heart diseases.[2]
Indications
- Coronary angiography may be performed to detect vascular supply of the tumor by the coronary arteries.[3][4]
| Imaging Technique | Features | Description | Advantages | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two- or three-dimensional echocardiography | Echocardiography is usually the initial modality used for identification and evaluation of cardiac myxomas. |
|
|
|
| MRI | Evaluation of cardiac masses and is of greatest value when echocardiographic findings are suboptimal or when the lesion has an atypical location or appearance. |
|
|
|
| CT | CT can be used to accurately image the heart and surrounding mediastinum |
|
|
|
| Angiography | Coronary angiography may be helpful to detect vascular supply of the tumor by the coronary arteries |
|
|
|
| Chest x-ray | Chest x-ray has no particular findings associated with cardiac myxoma |
