Lipomatous metaplasia in ischemic cardiomyopathy is a common but underappreciated entity, due to the inability of traditional cardiac imaging techniques (such as echocardiography and single-photon emission computed tomography) to recognize it. Increasing use of multi-slice computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance in the past years allowed better characterization of the presence and extent of Lipomatous metaplasia.

Abstract

Lipomatous metaplasia in ischemic cardiomyopathy is a common but underappreciated entity, due to the inability of traditional cardiac imaging techniques (such as echocardiography and single-photon emission computed tomography) to recognize it. Increasing use of multi-slice computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance in the past years allowed better characterization of the presence and extent of Lipomatous metaplasia.
