Journal ArticleDOI
Pathology of cardiac tumors
TL;DR: The macroscopic and microscopic features of the so-called papilliferous tumor of the heart are considered in detail and the view that this represents a giant Lambl's excrescence is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac tumors: diagnosis and management.
TL;DR: Three imaging modalities clearly complement one another and the choice of application will depend upon factors including the patient's transthoracic echogenicity, the availability of magnetic resonance imaging or transesophageal echocardiography, cost, and the physical status of the patient.

Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical aspects of cardiac tumors
TL;DR: It has become increasingly apparent that it is necessary to alert the physician to the clinical manifestations of cardiac tumors, and it is certainly true that unless one thinks of the possibility of cardiac tumor, diagnosis will be made by the pathologist in the autopsy moon.
Book
Valvular heart disease
TL;DR: Patients with prosthetic heart valves require careful management to prevent endocarditis and to provide optimal antithrombotic therapy, as well as to monitor valve function.

Myxoma of the left atrium; diagnosis made during life with operative and post-mortem findings.
TL;DR: The surgical procedure, attempted as a last resort, is described, as are the postmortem findings, which points the way to possible surgical cure in similar lesions.

Pulmonary vascular patterns in pulmonary hypertension.
TL;DR: Further studies of the pulmonary vascular pattern in mitral stenosis, and also in certain types of congenital heart disease with pulmonary hypertension are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myxoma of the left atrium
TL;DR: Three cases, believed to have mitral stenosis and advised to undergo commissurotomy, were found at operation to have a myxoma of the left atrium, and it seems important to review the reported cases to see whether it is possible to distinguish myxomata from mitrals stenosis by means other than angiocardiography.

Syndrome of Fever, Anaemia, and High Sedimentation Rate with an Atrial Myxoma
G. A. MacGregor,R. A. Cullen +1 more
TL;DR: Altered symptoms and signs with changes in posture, recurrent syncope simulating Stokes-Adams attacks, systemic embolism without bacteriaemia, variability of the heart murmurs, and progressive failure with rapid cardiac enlargement are recognized as characteristic of this condition.

TL;DR: Four patients proven clinically (three of whom had successful operations), with special reference to clinical features suggesting a generalized infection or general systemic disease are presented, with special attention paid to changes in the serum proteins and to the physical signs.
