Right atrial mass: a diagnostic dilemma.
Dear Editor, The differential diagnoses of intracardiac masses include vegetation, thrombus or tumours. Size, shape, location, mobility and attachment of the mass combined with the clinical fi ndings help differentiate etiology. Echocardiography became the gold standard test for the diagnosis of intracardiac masses and later on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) further improved the accurac...
متن کاملRight ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis.
Endomyocardial fibrosis is a variety of restrictive cardiomyopathy, in which endocardium of one or both ventricles is thickened markedly with involvement of underlying myocardium. Partial obliteration of ventricular cavities by fibrous tissue and thrombus causes diastolic dysfunction with increased resistance to ventricular filling. Systolic function is well preserved till late stages. Biventri...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of endomyocardial biopsy for endomyocardial fibrosis
Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a restrictive cardiomyopathy of unknown etiology. It is mainly prevalent in the tropical and subtropical countries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) for EMF, and detect the relationship between Coxsackie virus B3 (CVB3) and EMF in the Chinese patients. The right ventricular EMB was performed in 18 patients...
متن کاملRight ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis. Diagnosis and management.
The clinical course, noninvasive and invasive diagnostic findings in 4 patients (pt) with endomyocardial fibrosis are reported. All patients (16-50 years) were in functional class III-IV (NYHA). Central venous pressure with large a- and v-waves was elevated in all; liver enlargement and peripheral edema were also noticed in all pts, and ascites in 3. An apical 2/6 systolic murmur was present in...
متن کاملRight Ventricular Endomyocardial Fibrosis in Neonate—A Case Report
Endomyocardial fibrosis is characterized by the formation of fibrous tissue in the endocardium. Although the disease may affect both ventricles, isolated or not, the right ventricle is more frequently involved. Endocardial fibrosis may be present in the entire ventricular cavity, being usually more marked in the apical region and right ventricular inflow tract. Its etiology, however, still rema...
