title: Myocardial infarction in myxoma patients with normal coronary arteries. Case reports.
abstract: Three cases of patients with cardiac myxoma who had attacks of acute myocardial infarction are presented. Cineangiographic study showed normal coronary arteries. Immunohistochemical and serologic examination revealed that both interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 were secreted in cardiac myxoma. The authors discuss the relation between these cytokines and myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries.
