Most of the myxomas are asymptomatic; the right atrial myxomas present with obstructive features like dyspnoea, syncope, right side heart failure; rarely it can cause left ventricular overload and biventricular heart failure, as in our case. Transesophageal echocardiography is superior for precise ...
Pleural effusions are common in patients with congestive heart failure. However, there is a need to assess systematically the correlation between effusion volume, extravascular lung water and echocardiographic parameters. We used combined cardiopulmonary
