Echocardiography
-
Epipericardial fat necrosis (EFN) is an uncommon self-limiting benign condition that can present with substantial chest pain. We present a case of an otherwise healthy 42-year-old man who presented with severe chest pain in the emergency department. ⋯ The transthoracic echocardiogram was normal, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the lesion. Combined anti-inflammatory therapy was started with favorable evolution.
