Genetic susceptibility to endomyocardial fibrosis
Global Cardiology Science and Practice, 2014 Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is the most common form of restrictive cardiomyopathy worldwide. It has been linked to poverty and various environmental factors, but-for unknown reasons-only some people who live in similar conditions develop the disease.

Endomyocardial fibrosis regression
Journal of the Practice of Cardiovascular Sciences, 2019 Endomyocardial fibrosis usually is an end-stage cardiomyopathy. We present a case which was picked up early in a stage with active thrombosis and inflammation using magnetic resonance imaging and DOTANOC scans and treated leading to regression of inflammation and thrombus.
