Key result
Magnetic resonance imaging proved superior to transesophageal echocardiography in assessing the involvement of other cardiac structures in a case of lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum.

Does magnetic resonance imaging provide superior assessment of cardiac structure involvement compared to transesophageal echocardiography in a patient with lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum?
Magnetic resonance imaging can provide superior detail compared to transesophageal echocardiography when assessing the extent of lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum.
Koželj et al. (1995) conducted a case report in Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum (n=1). Magnetic resonance imaging vs. Transesophageal echocardiography was evaluated on Assessment of the involvement of other cardiac structures. Magnetic resonance imaging proved superior to transesophageal echocardiography in assessing the involvement of other cardiac structures in a case of lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum.
