[Clinical features of constrictive endomyocardial fibrosis (author's transl)]. 1978

E Bertrand, and J Renambot, and J Chauvet, and A Ekra

Constrictive endomyocardial fibrosis is very frequent in tropical areas with a hot and rainy climate. Young patients and specially male ones are generaly concerned. The onset is gradual and low-giving an adiastolic condition which may prevail on the right or the left heart. Some periods of more acute evolution may be observed. Death is caused by adiastolic disorders, thrombosis or arythmia. Aetiology is still unknown. A surgical treatment may be considered in some cases.
