| Abstract: | Right ventricular (RV) cardiomyopathy is a familiar myocardial disease of RV characterized by extensive fatty replacement of the myocardium. Conventional echocardiography is able to show abnormalities in myocardial contractility, but fat on the images appears to be similar to the surrounding tissue or fluid. The present case suggests the clinical role of contrast echocardiography showing perfusion abnormalities in patients with RV cardiomyopathy in the region of the fat depositions. |
