Overview

Should not change practice; single case leaves open whether fatty infiltration causes restrictive cardiomyopathy.

Structured PICO

P
Population
1 obese male with hemodynamic evidence of a restrictive cardiac process
O
Outcome
Histologic evidence of fatty infiltration of myocardium

This case report is the first to demonstrate an association between fatty infiltration of the myocardium and hemodynamic findings consistent with restrictive cardiomyopathy.
