چکیده

Described herein is a 68-year-old man who underwent cardiac transplantation for severe chronic heart failure resulting from ischemic cardiomyopathy. Examination of the excised heart showed not only extensive left ventricular scarring but also a huge collection of adipose tissue in the subepicardial region and surprisingly also in the ventricular septum. The finding of fat in the ventricular septum is extremely rare and prompted this report.

Comparison of Fetal Echocardiography for Fetal Cardiac Structure in Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Normal Pregnancies

BackgroundIncreased metabolic rate of hyperglycemia in gestational diabetes causes macrosomia, which can also affect the fetal heart. The thickness of the walls of the heart and its function in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can change over time before treatment. We aimed to evaluate fetal cardiac structure in terms of ventricular wall thickness and its function in women w...

[Comparison of epicardial fat thickness in diabetic patients compared to non-diabetics with acute myocardial infarction and ST-segment elevation (AMI-STEMI)].

INTRODUCTION Visceral fat has deleterious metabolic effects and has been associated with myocardial ischemia. OBJECTIVE To compare epicardial fat thickness in diabetic versus non-diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study in 60 patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation (30 ...

Water, nitrogen, and electrolyte content of right and left ventricular walls and interventricular septum of normal canine hearts.

The water, nitrogen, and electrolyte content of the normal canine myocardium partitioned as right ventricle, septum, and left ventricle are presented on a connective tissue-free basis as well as fat-free and blood-free. Considering the tissue on a fat-free, blood-free, connective tissue-free basis, the extracellular phase (expressed as g/kg heart muscle) of the left ventricle was 86% that of th...

Measurement of Left Ventricular Myocardium Wall Instantaneous Motions with Echocardiographic Sequence Images

Background & Aims: One of the important aims of quantitative cardiac image processing is the clarification of myocardial motions in order to derive biomechanical behavior of the heart in the disease condition. In this study we presented a computerized analysis method for detecting the instantaneous myocardial changes by using 2D echocardiography images. Methods: The analysis was performed on th...

Atrial septum fat deposition and atrial anatomy assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance: relationship to atrial electrophysiology

Methods 44 consecutive patients with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF> 35%), age<70 years old, were enrolled in a research study exploring the underlying myocardial substrate of ECG findings. The presence of interatrial fat was assessed with a complete CMR study including Dark-blood DIR-prepared Fat-Water-separated sequence3 in the horizontal longitudinal axis (4 chamber view). T...
