Biventricular endomyocardial fibrosis with right ventricular hypertrabeculation and rapid progression to heart transplantation: imaging and pathologic correlation [PDF]
Einstein (São Paulo)Endomyocardial fibrosis is a restrictive cardiomyopathy characterized by the deposition of fibrotic tissue in the endocardium, predominantly affecting the ventricular apices and atrioventricular valves.

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 ...

Biventricular endomyocardial fibrosis with severe aortic stenosis: A rare combination
Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2017 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]
Journal of Pathology and Translational Medicine, 2020 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

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 ...

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Endomyocardial Fibrosis
Indian Journal of Clinical Cardiology, 2021 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.

Long-term survival following surgery for endomyocardial fibrosis
, 2013 We report a successful follow-up after 28 years of a woman with obliterative restrictive endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) that underwent complete surgical decortication with simultaneous mitral and tricuspid bioprosthetic valve replacement in 1982 and ...
