Cardiovascular magnetic resonance can detect lipomatous metaplasia in patients with a history of myocardial infarction.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Demonstrates CMR feasibility for post-MI lipomatous metaplasia detection; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
A 64-year-old man with a prior history of anterior wall myocardial infarction treated with thrombolysis in 1992, followed 10 years later by coronary artery bypass surgery, underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance examination (CMR) for quantification of residual left ventricular function.
