An atrial myxoma is a tumour that can be found in the top chambers (atria) of the heart. A tumour is a mass of abnormal tissue that grows too large where it shouldn’t. Around three quarters of atrial myxomas occur in the left atria. They tend to grow on the wall (septum) that separates the right and left sides of the heart.
They’re benign, which means they don’t spread around the rest of the body like cancerous tumours. However, if the tumour grows too large it can affect how the heart works. This can cause abnormal heart rhythms (when your heart is beating too fast, too slow or irregularly) and problems with the pumping action of the heart muscle.
Overall, heart tumours are rare. Sometimes small pieces of the tumour can break off and enter the blood stream. If this happens, they can block an artery in another part of the body such as the brain (which could cause a stroke), or in the lungs (causing a pulmonary embolism).
Symptoms will vary depending on the size and position of the myxoma. They may include:
It’s not known what causes atrial myxoma but around 10% of them seem to be inherited (passed down through families). These are known as familial cardiac myxomas. They tend to occur in more than one part of the heart at a time, and often cause symptoms at a younger age than other myxomas.
There are some risk factors that make you more likely to get an atrial myxoma, such as:
If you visit your GP, your doctor will listen to your chest with a stethoscope. Atrial myxoma can cause heart murmurs, which are extra or unusual sounds your doctor might hear when listening to your chest. The sounds may change if you change position, for example if you are lying down or if your doctor asks you to sit up.
