Zusammenfassung

Obwohl aus pathologischen Studien bekannt ist, dass eine intramyokardiale Fettdeposition bei chronischen Myokardinfarkten häufig ist, wird eine solche in der klinischen Routine selten diagnostiziert. Wir berichten über den Fall einer ausgeprägten Fettdeposition im linksventrikulären Myokard, welche mittels kardialer Magnetresonanztomographie diagnostiziert wurde.

Abstract

Although it is well known from pathological studies that intramyocardial fat deposition frequently occurs after left ventricular myocardial infarction, a left ventricular fat deposition is rarely diagnosed in the clinical routine. We report the case of extensive fat deposition in the left ventricular myocardium which was detected by routine cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
