Clinical features of endomyocardial fibrosis of the right ventricle.
Endomyocardial fibrosis was first described from Uganda as a pathological entity distinct from other forms of heart disease by Davies (1948). The characteristic lesion of the disorder is a fibrosis of the endocardium and subendocardial tissues of the ventricles, which may involve the papillary muscles and cause valvular incompetence (Fig. 1). The incidence of endomyocardial fibrosis at the Mula...
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 کاملHaemodynamic features of severe endomyocardial fibrosis of right ventricle, including comparison with constrictive pericarditis.
Endomyocardial fibrosis, first described from Uganda by Davies (1948), is a disease of the heart characterized by a fibrosis of the endocardium and subendocardial layers of either the left or right ventricle or both. The fibrosis affects mostly the inflow tracts and the apices of the ventricles, and involvement of the papillary muscles may lead to mitral or tricuspid incompetence. The ventricul...
متن کاملThe Function of the Heart in Endomyocardial Fibrosis of the Right Ventricle.
Endomyocardial fibrosis is a common heart disease among the indigenous peoples of many of the tropical African countries. The morbid anatomical findings have been described in detail by Davies and Ball (1955) so that only the fundamental features require comment here. The initial lesion seems to be in the endocardium at the apex of either or both ventricles. Thence the fibrotic process spreads ...
متن کامل[Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension associated with endomyocardial fibrosis of the right ventricle].
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is a rare sequela to an acute untreated or recurrent pulmonary embolism. The mechanisms that underlie the failure to resolve the thrombus are still uncertain. As most patients are not diagnosed until a relatively late stage, little is known about the course of their illness. We report the case of a 51-year-old woman who had previously been diagnosed...
