The clinical course, non-invasive and invasive diagnostic findings from a 50-year-old patient with endomyocardial fibrosis are reported. The patient died in cardiogenic shock. In Europe, endomyocardial fibrosis is a rare event. An exclusively right ventricular involvement is a seldom manifestation. The clinical, echocardiographic and computed tomographic features are diagnostic; therefore a satisfactory differentiation from other cardiac disorders with restrictive hemodynamic signs is possible. An echodense mass as cavity obliteration, with predominantly apical localization, was present at echocardiography; the computed tomography showed a hypodense area instead of the right ventricular cavity.

D004719 Endomyocardial Fibrosis A condition characterized by the thickening of the ventricular ENDOCARDIUM and subendocardium (MYOCARDIUM), seen mostly in children and young adults in the TROPICAL CLIMATE. The fibrous tissue extends from the apex toward and often involves the HEART VALVES causing restrictive blood flow into the respective ventricles (CARDIOMYOPATHY, RESTRICTIVE).

D006352 Heart Ventricles The lower right and left chambers of the heart. The right ventricle pumps venous BLOOD into the LUNGS and the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the systemic arterial circulation.
