Implication

Highlights cardiolipotoxicity in HF with VT; leaves open whether targeting lipid metabolism alters outcomes.

Structured PICO

P
Population
69-year-old man with a history of heart failure and ventricular tachycardia
I
Intervention
Endomyocardial biopsy
O
Outcome
Identification of intracellular accumulation of amorphous material (lipid inclusions) in cardiac myocytes
