1. Surgical Management of The Endomyocardial Fibrosis of Right Ventricle Mimicking Tumor with Recurrent Pulmonary Embolism
ABSTRACT Endomyocardial fibrosis is a neglected tropical disease that leads to restrictive cardiomyopathy. Its etiopathogenis is unclear and involves the progression of 3 stages of the disease. Compared with echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging shows better apical visualization of obliteration and thrombus and provides an early diagnosis. How

3. Does quantitative left ventricular regional wall motion change after fibrous tissue resection in endomyocardial fibrosis?
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 fibrosis is characterized by fibrous tissue deposition in the endomyocardium of the apex and/or inflow tract of one or both ventricles. Althoug

4. Avaliação da fibrose miocárdica pela ressonância magnética cardíaca na doença valvar aórtica grave: validação de um algoritmo de quantificação e comparação com a histopatologia / Assessment of myocardial fibrosis by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in severe aortic valve disease: validation of a quantitative algorithm and comparison with histopathology
Introduction: Severe aortic valve disease is characterized by a process of progressive accumulation of interstitial fibrosis in the myocardial tissue. It has been shown that the amount of interstitial myocardial fibrosis can play an important role in the transition from well-compensated hypertrophy to overt heart failure in the setting of chronic left ventri

5. Myocardial fibrosis prevention and accumulation of lipofuscin in myocities cardiac of mdx mice / Prevenção da fibrose miocardica e acumulo de lipofuscina em cardiomiocitos de camundongos mdx
The Duchenne Muscle Dystrophy is a progressive myopathy caused by recessive autossomic disease connected to the gender, which attacks male kids, and involves to motor disability in the property, leading to death around the second decade of life. It is caused by an alteration in the codifier gene of the protein dystropin, which maintains the integrity of the

6. L-arginine administration : the effect on myocardial fibrosis and increase of the carcinogenesis in mice mdx / Administração de L-arginina : efeitos sobre a fibrose miocardica e aumento da carcinogenese em camundongos mdx
The Duchenne Muscle Dystrophy (DMD) is a myopathy characterized by dystrophin absence, which is a structural protein of the plasma membrane. The dystrophin absence leads to functional alterations followed by necrosis in the skeletal and cardiac muscle fiber. As the patients grow older, about 40% of them develop cardiomyopathy due to progressive myocardial fi

7. Collagen content, but not the ratios of collagen type III/I mRNAs, differs among hypertensive, alcoholic, and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy
Cardiac interstitial fibrosis may contribute to ventricular dysfunction and the prognosis of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. The objective of the present study was to determine if total myocardial collagen content and collagen type III/I (III/I ratio) mRNAs differ in hypertensive, alcoholic, and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy subjects. Echocardiogra

8. N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) as a noninvasive marker for restrictive syndromes
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 marker of cardiac diastolic dysfunction. The objectives of the present study were to determine whether serum NT-proBNP was high in patients

10. Endomiocardiofibrose: patologia e correlação clínica em material de ressecção cirúrgica / Endomyocardial fibrosis: pathological findings in surgical specimens and clinicopathological correlation
INTRODUÇÃO: A endomiocardiofibrose (EMF) é uma miocardiopatia de padrão restritivo de etiologia desconhecida, prevalente em regiões tropicais. Caracteriza-se por espessamento fibroso do endocárdio e miocárdio subjacente, comprometendo ponta e via de entrada de um ou de ambos os ventrículos. Sua etiopatogenia é pouco conhecida e muitos autores a asso

11. Endomyocardial fibrosis in infancy
The patient was a 4-month-old infant, who underwent persistent ductus arteriosus interruption with titanium clips at the age of 13 days and, since the age of 2 months, had crises of hypoxia and hypertonicity. After clinical investigation, the presence of pulmonary hypertension was confirmed and left ventricular inflow tract obstruction was suspected. The pat

12. Clinical Meaning of Ascites in Patients with Endomyocardial Fibrosis
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical meaning of ascites and the main features of patients with ascites and endomyocardial fibrosis. METHODS: We studied 166 patients with endomyocardial fibrosis (mean age 37 years, 114 women) treated over the last 20 years. Ventriculography findings, surgery or necropsy confirmed the diagnosis in all patients. Most patients be
