Fatty Images of the Heart: Spectrum of Normal and Pathological Findings by Computed Tomography and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Figure 6

Cardiac CT axial image without contrast media administration in a 72-year-old male after an extensive chronic myocardial infarction shows the presence of a curvilinear hypodense stripe (arrows) with negative attenuation values (−20 Hounsfield units), located within the subendocardial layer of the left ventricular apex extending also to the left ventricular lateral wall, findings related to a postischemic lipomatous metaplasia.
