摘要: Replacement of the myocardium by fibrous and adipose tissue is well documented in right ventricle, but has been rarely described left ventricle. We present two cases extensive fibrofatty infiltration ventricle without significant ventricular involvement young men whose presenting symptom was sudden death.
