M-mode echocardiographic features of endomyocardial fibrosis.
M-mode echocardiographic findings are described in 21 patients with endomyocardial fibrosis. Features associated with right ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis include: (i) exaggerated motion and thickening of the anterior right ventricular wall; (ii) increased right ventricular end-diastolic dimension; and (iii) paradoxical septal motion.

These changes are similar to those encountered in congestive cardiomyopathy. Endomyocardial fibrosis is rare in Venezuela, but six patients have been found in that country and the echocardio...
متن کاملEndomyocardial Fibrosis: Echocardiographic Profile
Evolution of two-dimensional and color Doppler echocardiography identified the typical features of Endomyocardial Fibrosis (EMF) such as dense ventricular apical fibrosis, dysfunction of atrioventricular valve and sub-valvular apparatus and cavity dimensions. This is the tool used most for the diagnosis of EMF in areas where the disease is endemic in Africa. Today echocardiography is used as a ...
متن کاملEndomyocardial Fibrosis in an HIV-Infected Patient
cardiomyopathy characterized by endocardial fibrotic thickening that usually affects the apex of one or both ventricles. EMF has been reported in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa as well as in India, Brazil, Columbia, and Sri Lanka. EMF is uncommon in the United States; however, this cardiomyopathy has been reported in white patients, even in the absence of prior residence in tropical...
متن کاملEndomyocardial fibrosis in Sudan: clinical and echocardiographic features
OBJECTIVE Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a rare disease and is often an underdiagnosed and forgotten cardiomyopathy. The objective of this study was to document the current frequency of EMF in Sudan by defining and selecting cases from patients attending the echocardiography laboratory. Additionally we aimed to create an EMF registry for Sudan. METHODS The study started in January 2007 and ...
