Diagnosis of Diffuse Myocardial Fibrosis [PDF]

Circulation, 1959
Diffuse myocardial fibrosis is a disease of diverse etiology; the commonest cause is coronary artery disease. Physiologically, it produces a restriction of diastolic filling and thus resembles constrictive pericarditis and endocardial fibroelastosis. Clinically, it resembles constrictive pericarditis so closely that in many patients the differential ...
