[edit] Diagnosis...

I removed what was written in diagnosis (both sentences!). It does not follow that cardiac CT and echo are good tests for diagnosis. Maybe echo is good for myxoma, but is cardiac CT particularly better than cardiac MRI? Definitive diagnosis would likely rest on tissue biopsy. Need references, if possible.
