Detection of fatty tissue in the myocardium by using computerized tomography in a patient with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.
A case with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia involving the left ventricle as well as the right ventricle was presented. Right ventricular endomyocardial biopsy and computerized tomography were useful in detecting fatty tissue in the myocardium.
