	Obstructive symptoms	Embolic symptoms	Constitutional symptoms	Other symptoms
Left atrial myxomas	Mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation, left sided heart failure, pulmonary congestion	CVA, retinal arteries, coronary arteries, cerebral arterial aneurysm, abdominal circulation, lower extremity circulation, other viscera, spleen, adrenals, kidneys	Malaise, anorexia, fever, arthralgia, weight loss, high erythrocyte sedimentation rate, anemia, leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, elevated gamma globulin	Carneys complex, acute psychosis, coronary steal syndrome, infection, mononeuropathy
Right atrial myxomas	Tricuspid stenosis, right sided heart failure, pedal edema, hepatic congestion, ascites	Pulmonary embolism, pulmonary artery hypertension, pulmonary artery aneurysm, systemic embolization (similar to left atrial myxomas) in the presence patent foramen ovale/atrial septal defects	Malaise, anorexia, fever, arthralgia, weight loss, high erythrocyte sedimentation rate, anemia, leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, elevated gamma globulin	Carneys complex, acute psychosis, coronary steal syndrome, infection, mononeuropathy
