Journal Title: Cardiology and Angiology: An International Journal - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Endomyocardial fibrosis is a tropical disease, characterised by fibrosis in the endocardium and subjacent myocardium affecting particularly the inflow tract and the apex of one or both ventricles. This case highlights the occurrence of EMF in an elderly woman without the typical/characteristic physical findings of EMF.
