Endomyocardial fi brosis

open access: yesActa Cardiologica, 2011
We report the case of a 51-year-old man of central African origin. Medical evaluation revealed severe heart failure. Echocardiography disclosed poor left ventricular function. The apex of the left ventricle showed complete obliteration and retraction. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed subendocardial hyperenhancement of the apex of the left and right ...

Endomyocardial fibrosis in dermatomyositis

International Journal of Cardiology, 1990
The case reported in this paper, besides illustrating many of the clinical and pathological aspects of chronic dermatomyositis, documents a yet undescribed feature of involvement of the heart in dermatomyositis, namely endomyocardial fibrosis. The pathogenetic mechanism of such a happening is discussed, and its possible relationship to tropical ...

A geochemical basis for endomyocardial fibrosis

open access: yesCardiovascular Research, 1989
Analysis of hearts of patients dying from endomyocardial fibrosis showed a significantly greater concentration of cerium, a lanthanide present in leafy vegetables and root tubers, than in control hearts.

A profile of endomyocardial fibrosis

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1987
EMF is a restrictive cardiomyopathy of tropics and has its onset in children and young adults who belong to the poorer strata of society. Physical signs in patients are dominated by features of congestive heart failure. While two dimensional echo has contributed great deal to the diagnosis of EMF, selective cardiac angiography remains the method of ...

Diffuse endomyocardial fibrosis

The American Journal of Medicine, 1963
Abstract Two morphologic types of endomyocardial fibrosis are described. The roentgenographic aspects and the anatomic and histologic data which define them are indicated, making it possible to establish the differential diagnosis between the two anatomic typesduring the lifetime of the patient.

Endomyocardial fibrosis in children

Cardiology in the Young, 2001
We describe 10 children with endomyocardial fibrosis who underwent surgical treatment between 1978 and 1999. Seven were male and 3 female, with an age range from 4 to 15 years, having a mean age of 11 years. All were in the final stage of heart failure.

Hemodynamics in endomyocardial fibrosis

American Heart Journal, 1974
Abstract Nine patients with endomyocardial fibrosis have been studied. The clinical diagnosis was confirmed by right ventricular angiography in all of them. They were submitted to right and left ventricular catheterization and had the cardiac pressures, the pulmonary arteriolar resistance, and the cardiac index measured.
