Early endomyocardial fibrosis mimicking dilated cardiomyopathy.
Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a poorly understood but common cause of heart failure in sub-Saharan Africa, which typically presents with a restrictive phenotype. We describe a previously unreported presentation of EMF with severe left ventricular dilatation and systolic dysfunction, mimicking dilated cardiomyopathy, in which longitudinal and multimodality imaging was crucial for the diagnosis.
