Issue Date: | Sep-2019 | Source: | 31(9):E273 | Journal title: | Journal of Invasive Cardiology | Department: | Cardiology | Abstract: | A 77-year-old woman with obstructive sleep apnea presented with a 3-week history of leg swelling and dyspnea on exertion. She had a dry cough and lost 10 kg over the past 2 years. Examination revealed elevated jugular venous pressure, reduced air entry in the left lower-lung field, and pedal edema. Imaging with chest computed tomography revealed a giant pedunculated left atrial myxoma to be the cause of her severe pulmonary hypertension, which was reversible with treatment. | URI: | https://elibrary.cclhd.health.nsw.gov.au/cclhdjspui/handle/1/1666 | Pubmed: | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31478895 | ISSN: | 1042-3931 | Publicaton type: | Journal Article | Keywords: | Cardiology Respiratory Heart Disease |
