Right 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 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 کاملEchocardiography in the diagnosis of right ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis.
Twenty-one patients with endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) and right ventricular involvement were studied by M-mode echocardiography. All 21 patients showed echocardiographic findings consisting of (i) increased right ventricular dimension, (ii) paradoxical septal motion, (lii) increased right ventricular outflow dimension (iv) thickening of the right ventricular anterior wall with increased right ...
متن کاملRight ventricular dysfunction and functional limitation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
there are significant overlaps in clinical, physiological and pathological features of the two diseases, including the mechanisms of bronchial hyperresponsiveness and atopy that drive obstructive phenotypes [7]. Although asthma may progress to chronic irreversible airflow obstruction, changes in reversibility over time are not widely reported [8, 9]. It may be that we require a new taxonomy to ...
متن کاملIloprost reverses established fibrosis in experimental right ventricular failure.
Prostacyclin and its analogues improve cardiac output and functional capacity in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH); however, the underlying mechanism is not fully understood. We hypothesised that prostanoids have load-independent beneficial effects on the right ventricle (RV). Angio-obliterative PAH and RV failure were induced in rats with a single injection of SU5416 followed...
