摘要：

Systemic embolization is a common complication of left atrial myxoma; however, coronary embolism leading to acute myocardial infarction is rare. The use of echocardiography has increased the detection of intracardiac tumors when signs and symptoms are not evident. Echocardiography is the diagnostic procedure of choice in the initial evaluation of patients with suspected left atrial myxoma.
