Computed tomography demonstration of lipomatous metaplasia of the left ventricle following myocardial infarction

Abstract

Replacement of myocardium by fat, particularly of the right ventricle, is often diagnosed as arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. At autopsy, however, 68% of scars associated with chronic ischemic heart disease have shown fatty metaplasia in the scar. Four patients with a past history of previous myocardial infarctions and computed tomography demonstration of fatty change in left ventricular regions of hypokinesis and infarction are presented. It is proposed that these findings represent ischemic fatty metaplasia, an alternative etiology of fatty tissue replacing myocardium.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a congenital cardiomyopathy that is characterized by infiltration of adipose and fibrous tissue into the right ventricle wall and loss of myocardial cells. Primary injuries usually are at the free wall of the right ventricular and right atria resulting in ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias.
