ABSTRACT
Diagnosis of cardiac myxoma is rare, but one that prompts expeditious action by the cardiac surgical service. It is one form of acquired heart disease for which surgical intervention can result in a cure. Perioperative nursing care plays an important part in helping the patient and family cope with this urgent situation.
