Subepicardial myocardial lesions, rare at necropsy, are linked to various cardiac conditions. This study details their varied presentation and association with diseases like coronary artery disease and myocarditis.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Pathology
  • Cardiac Histology

Background:

  • Subepicardial myocardial lesions are infrequently observed during necropsy.
  • Limited data exists on their specific characteristics and etiologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the morphology and causes of subepicardial myocardial lesions.
  • To analyze the association of these lesions with different cardiac diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 22 patient cases with subepicardial myocardial lesions over 13 years.
  • Correlation of lesion characteristics with underlying cardiac pathologies identified at necropsy.

Main Results:

  • Lesions were associated with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, sarcoidosis, dilated cardiomyopathy, and myocarditis.

  • Morphology varied: small and localized in coronary artery disease, extensive in sarcoidosis/myocarditis, often involving transmural regions.
  • Four cases remained idiopathic.

    • Conclusions:

    • Subepicardial myocardial lesions manifest across a spectrum of cardiac diseases.
    • Lesion presentation differs based on the underlying etiology, impacting diagnostic interpretation.
