Endocardial fibrosis. Detection by cardiac pacing.
ENDOCARDIAL FIBROSIS occurs in diverse diseases. An infantile form appears to reflect an unexplained congenital derangement in which a thick layer of collagen and elastin lines the left ventricular cavity.' Sporadic instances noted in the adolescent have also been presumed to be of congenital origin.2 A poorly understood cause of heart failure occurs frequently in Uganda and South Africa in ass...
متن کاملAdult endocardial fibroelastosis associated with dextrocardia and situs inversus.
ENDOCARDIAL thickening may be due to a variety of causes, among which are primary myocardial lesions, hypertension, congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries, developmental cardiac defects1-3 beriberi heart disease,4 progressive systemic sclerosis,5 and idiopathic eardiae hypertrophy.i9 Many etiologic factors have been proposed as causative in endocardial fibrosis ;1O these include metaboli...
متن کاملGross and microscopic pathological changes associated with nonthoracotomy implantable defibrillator leads.
BACKGROUND Although the effects of epicardial implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) leads on underlying cardiac tissue have been reported, the gross and microscopic changes associated with endocardial ICD leads are less well described. This study describes the gross and microscopic changes associated with endocardial ICD leads in humans. METHODS AND RESULTS The hearts from 8 patients w...
متن کاملEndocardial and epicardial epithelial to mesenchymal transitions in heart development and disease.
Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) converts epithelial cells to mobile and developmentally plastic mesenchymal cells. All cells in the heart arise from one or more EMTs. Endocardial and epicardial EMTs produce most of the noncardiomyocyte lineages of the mature heart. Endocardial EMT generates valve progenitor cells and is necessary for formation of the cardiac valves and for complete c...
متن کاملCONGENITAL HEART DISEASE Cardiovascular magnetic resonance in endocardial fibroelastosis
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...
