Lipomatous Metaplasia Facilitates Ventricular Tachycardia in Patients With Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of lipomatous metaplasia (LM) as a critical anatomical feature in the pathways that lead to ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM).
- Researchers analyzed cardiac MRI and electroanatomical maps from 49 patients, revealing that VT corridors had significantly higher volumes of LM.
- The findings suggest that these VT corridors not only contain more LM but also show lower variability in current amplitude, indicating that LM may help stabilize electrical signaling during VT episodes.
