Early Detection of Atrial Myxoma With Echocardiography

When Chest Pain Isn’t What It Seems: The Case for Early Cardiac Imaging

When a 67-year-old woman arrived at the emergency room with chest pain and no cardiovascular risk factors, standard tests pointed nowhere. It was an echocardiogram that revealed a rare tumour growing inside her heart, making her surgery and recovery possible.

Us2.ai co-founder Dr. Carolyn Lam spoke to Newsweek about the case, highlighting how atrial myxomas can mimic more common conditions and why early, accessible cardiac imaging is so critical.

At Us2.ai, we are building toward a future where AI-powered echocardiography brings that diagnostic clarity to more patients, more consistently, and more quickly, because in cardiology, what you find, and when you find it, can make all the difference.
