Fibrosis endomiocárdica crónica, reporte de caso en área no endémica

Endomyocardial fibrosis is a known and prevalent cause of restrictive cardiomyopathy in countries of Equatorial Africa, but very rare elsewhere. Although the diagnosis in endemic countries is established by the presence of certain echocardiographic criteria, the gold standard is the endomyocardial b...
