•View of posterior aspect of heart. The prominent
band of fat extending from the base of the heart to
the apex marks the location of the IV septum and the
posterior descending coronary a.. The lateral and posterior
LV walls are above the fat band and the RV wall below.
•The arrow points to a subepicardial hematoma, due to
a hemorrhagic transmural ruptured infarct. The actual
rupture of the distended epicardium is not visible in
this view, but the arrow points to the rupture site.
