CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE Cardiovascular magnetic resonance in endocardial fibroelastosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Endomyocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) presents in a primary form that manifests in infancy as well as secondary forms related to hypereosinophilia and leukemic disorders (1). Accurate identification has previously required endomyocardial biopsy, though cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is uniquely suited to visualize endomyocardial fibrosis noninvasively. We present a case demonstrating CMR findings in EFE and recommendations for its role in diagnosis of this disease.

Magnetic resonance imaging diagnosis of carcinoid heart disease.
Carcinoid tumors are associated with the production of a number of bioactive substances that might deposit on the endocardium (endocardial fibroelastosis) and produce cardiac failure. Carcinoid heart disease usually presents as right-sided valvular heart disease. Even if the diagnosis is frequently made by transthoracic echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging adds valuable informat...
متن کاملA case of constrictive endocardial sclerosis accompanied with congenital Lutembacher's syndrome.
1865, and detailed report was made by Lutembacher in 1916. The syndrome, a combination of mitral stenosis and atrial septal defect, was at first considered as congenital orign. However, in recent years most of the mitral stenosis in such cases have been considered as acquired origin. Congenital mitral stenosis is a type of the hypoplastic left heart syndrome, and one of the relatively uncommon ...
متن کاملSecondary endocardial fibroelastosis in an adult: three-year follow-up by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
A 59-year-old Caucasian woman presented for the evaluation of chest pain. Her history was notable for asthma, intermittent eosinophilia with normal bone marrow biopsy, and intermittent angioedema. Coronary catheterization for the chest-pain study revealed nonobstructive coronary artery disease and a blunt left ventricular (LV) apex on ventriculography (Fig. 1). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) ...
