Prognostic significance and influencing factors of lipomatous metaplasia in patients after myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate the prognostic value of lipomatous metaplasia (LM) in patients after myocardial infarction (MI) and to explore potential influencing factors of LM.

Materials and methods

A total of 1702 (mean age 59.3 ± 10.27 years, 86.08% men) patients with a history of MI who underwent coronary CT angiography (CCTA) examinations were retrospectively enrolled. The clinical endpoints were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). A subgroup of 240 patients who underwent CCTA and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) examinations within a 14-day interval was analyzed to compare the prognostic values of LM and CMR parameters and to explore influencing factors of LM.

Results

MACE occurred in 395 (23.21%) patients during a median follow-up of 45.5 months. In the ent
