Endomyocardial Fibrosis Associated With Hypereosinophilic Syndrome: Diagnostic and Management Insights From a Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT 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.

Clinical Meaning of Ascites in Patients with Endomyocardial Fibrosis
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical meaning of ascites and the main features of patients with ascites and endomyocardial fibrosis. METHODS: We studied 166 patients with endomyocardial fibrosis (mean age 37 years, 114 women) treated over the last 20 years.

Loeffler endomyocardial fibrosis [PDF]
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 regression
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 ...

Biventricular endomyocardial fibrosis with severe aortic stenosis: A rare combination
Endomyocardial fibrosis is the most common form of restrictive cardiomyopathy worldwide. Primarily it is a disease of the young with apical fibrosis, endocardial thickening with involvement of the papillary muscles and atrio-ventriclar valves.

Indirect pathological indicators for cardiac sarcoidosis on endomyocardial biopsy [PDF]
Background The definitive pathologic diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis requires observation of a granuloma in the myocardial tissue. It is common, however, to receive a “negative” report for a clinically probable case. We would like to advise pathologists

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Endomyocardial Fibrosis
Endomyocardial fibrosis is a rare cardiomyopathy. There has to be a high level of suspicion to make the diagnosis. The treatment is based on symptomatic relief and surgical management is based on the exact pathology found in the left ventricle apex.
