Abstract
The paper provides the follow-up findings of patients with cardiac myx omas according to the presence or absence of the myxomal syndrome. It is shown that it is a multiorgan abnormality wherein the cardiac myxom as that are prone to primarily multiple growth, extraseptal and/or mul tifocal fixation are associated with the changes in the hypothalamus-p ituitary-adrenal and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone systems, skin spott y pigmentation, neoplasms in the viscera, skin, and fat. These specifi c features emphase the predictive value of the myxomal syndrome, which predetermines that its early diagnosis should be made in routine clin ical practice.
