Mixoma ventricular izquierdo asintomático diagnosticado circunstancialmente por ecocardiografía

Abstract: We report a 50 year-old hypertensive and asymptomatic woman in whom a left ventricular tumor was found on a routine two-dimensional. La sintomatología depende de su localización, aunque ocasionalmente no producen síntomas y su pesquisa es posible por el uso cada vez más frecuente de la ecocardiografía 3,4 . Caso clínicoMujer de 50 años, hipertensa, asintomática. En control ambulatorio rutinario se solicitó un ecocardiograma bidimensional transtorácico (Eco2D), luego de la auscultación de un soplo sistólico III… Show more

“…[ 8 ] Echocardiography gives significant number of clues such as the polypoid or smooth surface myxoma, the site of origin, satellite focus, and diastolic blockage of mitral or tricuspid inflow which almost support provisional diagnosis of cardiac myxoma. [ 9 ] Contrast-enhanced CT scan of chest or lung scintigraphy would have provided the evidence of silent concomitant pulmonary embolism but has not been done in our case neither before surgery nor after surgery because there was no evidence of pulmonary arterial hypertension and financial limitation.…”

“…El diagnóstico por ecocardiografía ha representado un gran aporte para la pesquisa de pacientes asintomáticos estudiados por otro motivo o en control por patología cardiovascular como hipertensión arterial, con lo cual el diagnóstico y el volumen de pacientes operados se ha incrementado, ya que este método logra identificar a 90% de los casos. A su vez, la ecocardiografía 3D permite definir con exactitud la morfología y el tamaño del tumor, así como el grado de obstrucción del flujo sanguíneo, permitiendo una mejor planificación preoperatoria [3][4][5][6][7]11 .…”
