Endocardial Fibroelastosis as an Independent Predictor of Atrioventricular Valve Rupture in Maternal Autoimmune Antibody Exposed Fetus: A Systematic Review with Clinicopathologic Analysis [PDF]
Background: Neonatal lupus (NL) is a clinical syndrome that develops in the fetus as a result of maternal autoimmune antibodies. Congenital complete heart block (CHB) is the most common manifestation, while extranodal cardiac manifestations of NL, such ...

Preclinical Assessment of Atorvastatin for Treatment of Endocardial Fibroelastosis [PDF]
Summary: Endocardial fibroelastosis is a condition caused by the fibrogenic activation of endothelial cells via endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition of the endocardium, which is regulated by the transforming growth factor-β pathway.
