Tropical Endomyocardial Fibrosis [PDF]

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
Tropical endomyocardial fibrosis is a common cause of restrictive cardiomyopathy worldwide, but is relatively rare in developed countries. We present a case of tropical endomyocardial fibrosis with right ventricular involvement initially mistaken as Ebstein’s anomaly.

Endomyocardial fibrosis [PDF]

Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy, 2020
Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a neglected cardiovascular disease of poverty which carries a poor prognosis with no specific treatment affecting mainly children and young adults. Here, we report our 10-year experience in the therapeutic management and surgical treatment for EMF.From February 2009 to 2019 March, 55 patients diagnosed with EMF from our

Endomyocardial fibrosis in infancy [PDF]

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2003
The patient was a 4-month-old infant, who underwent persistent ductus arteriosus interruption with titanium clips at the age of 13 days and, since the age of 2 months, had crises of hypoxia and hypertonicity. After clinical investigation, the presence of pulmonary hypertension was confirmed and left ventricular inflow tract obstruction was suspected ...

Loeffler endomyocardial fibrosis [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 2006
A 58-year-old patient known for an idiopathic hyper-eosinophilic syndrome, previously treated with interferon, presented with severe dyspnoea and clinical signs of right ventricular (RV) failure. The transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) confirmed the RV systolic dysfunction with severe tricuspid valve (TV) regurgitation and an apical fibrotic ...

Endomyocardial fibrosis and eosinophilia. [PDF]

Heart, 1977
Absolute eosinophil counts were assessed in 15 African patients with proven endomyocardial fibrosis. Though the mean eosinophil count in patients with endomyocardial fibrosis was higher compared with the normals reported from Kampala (1-13 vs 0.72X10(9)/1), the absolute range was comparable.

Endomyocardial fibrosis in Africa [PDF]

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1983
Summary Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a disease of the rain-forest belt in Africa. There is general agreement as to its pathology in the acute phase, but this is difficult to diagnose clinically. The aetiology is still unknown although there are reports which suggest that eosinophilic endomyocardial disease may be the cause.

Autopsy findings in cases of fatal COVID‐19 vaccine‐induced myocarditis

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract COVID‐19 vaccines have been linked to myocarditis, which, in some circumstances, can be fatal. This systematic review aims to investigate potential causal links between COVID‐19 vaccines and death from myocarditis using post‐mortem analysis.

In‐hospital and 1 year incremental prognostic value of drug abuse detection in acute heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The study aims to assess the in‐hospital and 1 year incremental prognostic value of recent drug abuse use, detected by a systematic urinary screening, in a consecutive cohort of patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF). Methods All patients admitted for AHF with a drug abuse screening using a urinary assay were included in this

Endomyocardial Fibrosis: An Unusual Presentation [PDF]

Cardiology and Angiology: An International Journal, 2017
Endomyocardial fibrosis is a tropical disease, characterised by fibrosis in the endocardium and subjacent myocardium affecting particularly the inflow tract and the apex of one or both ventricles. This case highlights the occurrence of EMF in an elderly woman without the typical/characteristic physical findings of EMF.

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy in aortic stenosis patients scheduled for transcatheter aortic valve implantation

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abbreviations: TAVI, transcatheter aortic valve implantation; ATTR‐CM, transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis. We aimed to diagnose occult ATTR‐CM in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI using bone scintigraphy. We verified a diagnosis of ATTR‐CM in 8 of 171 (4.7 %) consecutive aortic stenosis patients who underwent TAVI.
