Key result
Cardiac CT and MR imaging can differentiate physiologic from pathologic myocardial fat by assessing patient age, fat location, myocardial thickness, ventricular size, and wall motion.
Why the study?
How can cardiac CT and MR imaging differentiate physiologic from pathologic myocardial fat?

May aid CT/MR differentiation of myocardial fat types; leaves open prospective validation before routine adoption.
Kimura et al. (2010) conducted a review in Myocardial fat (physiologic vs pathologic). Cardiac imaging (CT and MR) was evaluated on Differentiation of physiologic and pathologic myocardial fat. Cardiac CT and MR imaging can differentiate physiologic from pathologic myocardial fat by assessing patient age, fat location, myocardial thickness, ventricular size, and wall motion.
