Hospitals in Mira Road<\/a>, said the patient had complained of breathlessness, swelling over legs and was on high oxygen support. Echocardiography revealed a 7cm x 6.5cm x 5cm massive tumour in the right-side upper chamber (atrium) of her heart which was blocking the blood flow to the lungs. \u201cIt is a cardiac tumour called myxoma and not treating her at the right time may have led to death,\u201d said Dr Bhalerao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cWe first treated her with steroids and Remdesivir for Covid-19, After 10 days, she underwent a high-risk surgery to remove the cardiac tumour,\u201d he said. The tumour was completely removed from the atrial septum after a six-hour surgery. He added that the patient was moved to the ward after four days in the intensive care unit (ICU), and then discharged home a week after the surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The doctor said the patient\u2019s heart is in stable condition with normal blood oxygen saturation. He added that as symptoms of several heart and lung conditions overlap with those of Covid-19, all patients should be thoroughly evaluated based on all symptoms to uncover underlying diseases if any.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
