Multimodality imaging in endomyocardial fibrosis: An unusual etiology of heart failure
Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a condition that was first reported in 1948 in Africa, and its geographical distribution is strongly related to socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental status. More than half of the cases ...

(Blackwell Futura Publishing, Inc, 2004-04-01)
Does quantitative left ventricular regional wall motion change after fibrous tissue resection in endomyocardial fibrosis?
(Faculdade de Medicina / USP, 2009)
OBJECTIVES: We compared left ventricular regional wall motion, the global left ventricular ejection fraction, and the New York Heart Association functional class pre- and postoperatively. INTRODUCTION: Endomyocardial ...
Endomyocardial fibrosis in Bahia, Brazil
(1964)
Endomyocardial fibrosis was originally reported as a prevalent condition leading to fatal cardiac failure in Uganda (Davies, 1960; Shillingford and Somers, 1961). Shortly afterwards, reports of new cases came from other ...
Endomyocardial fibrosis: pathological and molecular findings of surgically resected ventricular endomyocardium
(SPRINGER, 2008)
Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a restrictive cardiomyopathy of unknown etiology prevalent in tropical regions affecting the inflow tract and apex of one or both ventricles, which show fibrous thickening of the endocardium ...
Echocardiographic predictors of functional capacity in endomyocardial fibrosis patients
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2009)
Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a restrictive cardiomyopathy manifested mainly by diastolic heart failure. It is recognized that diastole is an important determinant of exercise capacity. The purpose of this study was to ...

Late Gadolinium Enhancement Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Diagnosis and Prognosis of Endomyocardial Fibrosis Patients
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2011)
Background-Endocardial fibrous tissue (FT) deposition is a hallmark of endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF). Echocardiography is a first-line and the standard technique for the diagnosis of this disease. Although late gadolinium ...
N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) as a noninvasive marker for restrictive syndromes
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2008)
Constrictive pericarditis (CP) and restrictive cardiomyopathy share many similarities in both their clinical and hemodynamic characteristics and N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a sensitive ...
