Myocardial infarction in myxoma patients with normal coronary arteries. Case reports.
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.
