Abstract
Operative resection is optimal for primary tumors of the heart in patients with obvious symptoms or hemodynamic changes. Rhabdomyomas have the potential for spontaneous regression, and nonoperative follow-up therefore is acceptable even if symptoms appear. Operative risk is greater in younger patients and in patients with cardiac valvular dysfunction.
