A case of a 54-year-old male patient with left atrial myxoma, coronary heart disease, heart failure and multiple cardiovascular risk factors is described. The patient did not present typical symptoms of myxoma. Diagnosis and treatment of cardiac myxoma as well as the importance of echocardiographic examination in every patient with decompensated chronic heart failure are discussed.
