[Myocardial infarction in a young woman with left atrial myxoma].
A 38 year old female patient without coronary risk factors suffered an acute myocardial infarction. Echocardiographic and cardiac catheterization was undertaken and a left atrial mass with normal coronary arteries was assessed. The tumor mass was successfully resected and pathological examination of the specimen disclosed a myxoma. Three months after the operation the patient is symptom-free and an echocardiogram taken at this time showed no evidence of tumor. A bibliographic review of the association cardiac myxoma and coronary artery occlusion or myocardial infarction is done.
