Complementary roles of transthoracic two-dimensional color Doppler imaging and myocardial contrast echocardiography in diagnosis of endomyocardial fibrosis.
Echocardiography 2009 May
Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a rare progressive restrictive cardiomyopathy of unknown etiology that mainly presents with heart failure. The presence of a small ventricle with obliteration of the apex and a large atrium are two-dimensional echocardiographic findings that are highly suggestive of EMF. Cardiac magnetic resonance with delayed enhancement allows detection of subendocardial fibrosis with good histopathological correlation, providing a noninvasive modality for diagnosing EMF. We herein report a case of EMF in which the complementary role of two-dimensional color Doppler imaging and myocardial contrast echocardiography proved to be useful in the diagnosis of this clinical entity, which was later confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance, surgery, and histopathology.
