Abstract (english)
Histologic and radiologic studies describe intramyocardial fat tissue as a normal finding or as part of cardiac pathology. The role of fat cells within the myocardium is not fully understood. The aim of this study was to assess fat tissue distribution in the myocardium of right atrium (RA) and right ventricle (RV) and age differences in subjects free from cardiac disease. The study included 10 males without cardiac disease divided into two groups according to age (below/above 50 years). Three cross sections were performed (RV free wall and apex and RA free wall) with histomorphological analysis on digital photographs. The shares of total myocardial fat (TMF), perivascular fat (PVF) and non-perivascular (nPVF) fat were calculated. Samples from the older group had larger amounts of fat in the epicardium and myocardium, without statistically significant difference (TMF p=0.847, PVF p=0.4 and nPVF p=0.4). The largest quantities of fat tissue were found in the RV apex samples (14.9%), followed by RV free wall (7.5%) and RA (4.5%), where total apical RV fat share was significantly larger than in RA sample (p=0.044). Intramyocardial fat cells were present within the non-diseased RA and RV in all samples, mostly in the apex. Further investigations on age difference, effect of visceral obesity and sex differences are needed.
Abstract (croatian)
Dosadašnja histološka i radiološka istraživanja opisuju pojavnost intramiokardijalnog masnog tkiva kao dio normalnog nalaza ili kao dio patološkog nalaza srca. Uloga intramiokardijalnih masnih stanica nije još razjašnjena. Cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je utvrditi raspodjelu masnog tkiva u miokardu desne pretklijetke (DP) i desne klijetke (DK) ovisno o dobi i lokalizaciji kod ispitanika bez kardijalnog morbiditeta. Patohistološka postmortalna studija uključila je 10 muškaraca bez kardijalnih bolesti podijeljenih u dvije skupine prema dobi (ispod/iznad 50 godina). Uzorci su uzeti u tri presjeka (projekcija slobodnog zida DK, slobodni zid vrha DK te stijenka DP) s histomorfološkom analizom na digitalnim fotografijama. Izračunati su udjeli ukupnog masnog tkiva unutar srčanog mišića (UMT), perivaskularnog masnog tkiva (PMT) i ne-perivaskularnog masnog tkiva (nPMT). U uzorcima starijih ispitanika prisutna je veća količina masnog tkiva u epikardu i miokardu, bez statistički značajne razlike (UMT p=0,847, PMT p=0,4, nPMT p=0,4). Najveće količine masnog tkiva pronađene su u uzorcima vrha DK (14,9%), nakon čega slijedi stijenka slobodnog zida DK (7,5%) i DP (4,5%), gdje je ukupni udio masnog tkiva DK bio znatno veći nego kod uzorka DP (p=0,044). Intramiokardijalne masne stanice sastavni su dio histološkog nalaza DP i DK u svim uzorcima bez prisutnih kardijalnih bolesti, dominantno u vrhu DK. Neophodna su daljnja istraživanja utjecaja dobi, spola i visceralne pretilosti na pojavnost intramiokardijalnih masnih stanica unutar stijenke desnog srca.
