Abstract: Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of color Doppler echocardiography for cardiac tumors .Meth-ods:Clinical data of 87 patients with cardiac tumors were retrospectively analyzed ,including their diseased loca-tion ,clinical manif′estations and echocardiography feature .Results:All cardiac tumors obtain pathologic confirma-tion .There were 73 patients (83.9% ) with benign cardiac tumors ,including 66 patients (90.4% ) with myxoma and seven patients with other types ;there were 14 patients (16.1% ) with malignant cardiac tumors .Echocardiography indicated that myxoma was often located in left atrium (n=58) ,most cases possessed pedicell,its activity was large ;Other type benign cardiac tumors feature :The 6 case (86% ) were generated inside cardiac muscle without pedicell, its echo was more strong ;malignant tumors:its attachment surface was wide without pedicell,and it may show with globular or cauliflower ,and accompanied hydropericardium mostly .Conclusion:Echocardiography can dynamically observe the form ,size ,echo and hemodynamic changes of tumors ,its diagnostic accuracy is high .Myxoma is most frequent cardiac tumor .
