Overview
Cardiac myxoma was first described in 1845.[1] In 1951, Prichard described a kind of microscopic endocardial structure of the atrial septum, which was suggested to be associated with cardiac myxoma.[2] Clarence Crafoord, a Swedish cardiovascular surgeon successfully removed a cardiac myxoma for the first time in 1954.[3] This case also represented the first extirpation of a cardiac tumor on cardiopulmonary support.[4] Before 1951, cardiac myxoma diagnosis was made only at post-mortem examination.[5]
Historical perspective
- In 1845, the first description of a left atrial myxoma was reported by King.[1]
- In 1951, Prichard described a kind of microscopic endocardial structure of the atrial septum, which was suggested to be related to cardiac myxoma.[6] In the same year, intracardiac myxoma was recognized by angiography for the first time. Before 1951, cardiac myxoma diagnosis was made only at autopsy.
- In 1954, Clarence Crafoord (1899 – 1984), a Swedish cardiovascular surgeon, successfully removed a cardiac myxoma for the first time. This case also represents the first extirpation of a cardiac tumor on cardiopulmonary support.[4]
- In 1959, the first M-mode echocardiogram was used to diagnose a left atrial myxoma.[7]
- In 2000, gene mutation PRKAR1A was first identified in the pathogenesis of cardiac myxoma syndromes LAMB (lentigines, atrial myxoma, mucocutaneous myxomas and blue nevi), NAME (nevi, atrial myxoma, mucinosis of the skin and endocrine overactivity) and Carney complex (myxomas, spotty skin pigmentation and endocrine overactivity).[8][9]
