An Under-Recognized Sequela of Myocardial Infarction: Lipomatous Metaplasia

Lipomatous metaplasia is an infrequently discussed condition characterized by adipose tissue replacing scar tissue from ischemic events. Lipomatous metaplasia specifically of the myocardium is an adverse physiological result of myocardial infarction. In the past, several different imaging and diagno...

description Lipomatous metaplasia is an infrequently discussed condition characterized by adipose tissue replacing scar tissue from ischemic events. Lipomatous metaplasia specifically of the myocardium is an adverse physiological result of myocardial infarction. In the past, several different imaging and diagnostic techniques were utilized to recognize lipomatous metaplasia of the myocardium. The aim of this study is to discuss an individual case with this condition to highlight several key aspects that are under-discussed in current literature, such as determining the most suitable modality for the recognition of lipomatous metaplasia.
