Abstract

A 33 year old man with the findings of mild aortic stenosis had an echocardiographic diagnosis of left ventricular myxoma prolapsing through the aortic valve during each ventricular systole. The M-mode echocardiogram, B-scan ultrasonogram and angiograms of this patient are presented. The clinical characteristics in all the reported cases of left ventricular myxomas are reviewed.
