Transcutaneous continuous wave Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis of left atrial myxoma

DR Boughner and JA Persaud

The recordings, made from the suprasternal notch and the cardiac apex, showed characteristic deflections that coincided with tumor motion and provided a useful ancillary technique for noninvasively confirming the echocardiographic diagnosis of atrial myxoma.
