Cardiac myxoma is a rare disease with a reported prevalence of 0.03% in general [[population]]. The [[incidence]] of cardiac myxoma is about 1/ 100,000 per year. The majority of patients with cardiac myxoma are diagnosed between 30 to 60 years; children are rarely affected. Females are more commonly affected with cardiac myxoma than men. The female-to-male ratio is approximately 1.8 to 1. Cardiac myxomas represent 78% of heart tumors.

Overview

Cardiac myxoma is a rare disease with a reported prevalence of 0.03% in general population. The incidence of cardiac myxoma is about 1/ 100,000 per year. The majority of patients with cardiac myxoma are diagnosed between 30 to 60 years; children are rarely affected. Females are more commonly affected with cardiac myxoma than men. The female-to-male ratio is approximately 1.8 to 1. Cardiac myxomas represent 78% of heart tumors.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

  • The prevalence of cardiac myxoma is reported as 0.03% in general population.[1][2]

Incidence

  • The incidence of benign cardiac tumor including cardiac myxoma is about 1/100,000 per year.[1]

Age

  • The mean age of patients at diagnosis is 50 years, most patients are between 30-60 age range.[3]
  • Cardiac myxomas are rare in children. However, in the pediatric population cardiac myxomas are more likely to be related with familial forms such as the (Carney complex).[4]

Gender

  • Females are more commonly affected with cardiac myxoma than men. The female-to-male ratio is approximately 1.8 to 1.[5]
  • Patients with Carney complex, tend to be younger and male.[5]
