 See all Pictures & Images
Diagnosis & Tests
You may have signs of right-sided heart failure such as swollen legs or abdomen or distended neck veins. Examination with a stethoscope (auscultation) of the heart may reveal a "tumor plop" (a sound related to movement of the tumor) or other abnormal sounds.
Some of the symptoms and signs in right atrial myxoma may be caused by tricuspid stenosis (an obstruction of the valve that separates the right atrium and the right ventricle).
Right atrial myxoma may show on these tests:
An ECG may show atrial fibrillation. A CBC may show anemia and increased WBCs (white blood cells). The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is increased.
