Fat in the ventricular septum.

Fat in the ventricular septum. Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2014 Jul;27(3):231-2 Authors: Donaldson EE, Ko JM, Kuiper JJ, Chamogeorgakis T, Roberts WC Abstract 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. PMID: 24982572 [PubMed]
