A 42-year-old white female, who had an acute myocardial infarction, developed postinfarction angina and underwent coronary angiography seven weeks after the event. Coronary angiogram demonstrated a primary dissection of the left anterior descending artery. To our knowledge this is the sixth such report of a patient with primary dissection of a coronary artery demonstrated by angiography and the fourth such patient reported to achieve and maintain asymptomatic status without operative intervention.

Two cases of cardiac tumors were studied by computerized tomography. The first patient presented with cerebral embolization from left atrial tumor. Chest X-ray showed calcification in the region of the atria. A 2-"D" echo showed tumors of the right and left atrium. CT studies with contrast confirmed tumors of right and left atria its relationship with atrial septum and calcification. This is the first case report in the literature of multicentric biatrial tumors thought to be myxomas shown by computerized tomography. The second patient presented with weight loss, progressive weakness, shortness of breath and palpitations. A 2-"D" echo showed a large pedunculated left atrial mass prolapsing across the mitral valve into the left ventricle. CT with contrast showed large mass 3.5 X 4.5 cm in the left atrium. At surgery, this was proved to be a left atrial myxoma.
