Right Ventricular Endomyocardial Fibrosis: Case Report
DOI: 10.5935/2318-8219.20190014 Introduction Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF), first described in 1948 in Uganda, is more prevalent in countries of tropical and subtropical climates. It is characterized by the deposition of fibrous tissue in the endomyocardium of both ventricles, with less frequent right ventricular (RV) involvement.1-3 We report a case of EMF involving RV in a patient with symptomatic right heart failure.
