Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Despite the importance of this entity, only fewer than 40 cases have been reported since 1957, when the condition was first described.
We have seen a couple of similar cases in our institution during a short period of time, and we suspect that these numbers doesn't mean the real prevalence of epipericardial fat necrosis, so maybe this condition could be underdiagnosed. Instead, there isn't a study that tried to estimate an incidence of this entity.
