Endomyocardial Fibrosis Associated With Hypereosinophilic Syndrome: Diagnostic and Management Insights From a Case Report. [PDF]
Catheter Cardiovasc IntervABSTRACT Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a rare form of restrictive cardiomyopathy associated with eosinophilic disorders, characterized by apical subendocardial fibrosis and thrombus formation. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) provides a comprehensive, noninvasive evaluation, enabling diagnosis, assessment of disease activity, and guidance of therapy.

A giant mystery in giant cell myocarditis: navigating diagnosis, immunosuppression, and mechanical circulatory support. [PDF]
, 2020 Giant cell myocarditis is a rare but often devastating diagnosis. Advances in cardiac imaging and mechanical circulatory support have led to earlier and more frequent diagnoses and successful management. This disease state has wide variation in acuity of

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: still a mystery after 60 years.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2008 The pathologist Jack N. P. Davies identified endomyocardial fibrosis in Uganda in 1947. Since that time, reports of this restrictive cardiomyopathy have come from other parts of tropical Africa, South Asia, and South America.
