Symptoms - Endocardial fibroelastosis Breathlessness Cough Wheezing Feeding difficulty Excessive sweating Failure to thrive Recurrent chest infections (20%) Causes - Endocardial fibroelastosis EFE has two distinct genetic forms, each having a different [checkorphan.org]

The EFE heart disease group had both fewer B cells (0.18 vs. 0.44 cells/mm(2); p 0.08) and T cells (0.29 vs. 0.80 cells/mm(2); p 0.04) than the control group. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

rhythm, persistent jugular venous distention, systemic hypotension, peripheral vascular disease Laboratory findings Hyponatremia, persistently elevated B-type natriuretic peptide and A-type natriuretic peptide levels, elevated norepinephrine and renin [clevelandclinicmeded.com]

The ECG showed sinus rhythm, P mitrale, deep S waves in V3 and pronounced R waves in V4, profound ST depression and deep T wave inversion in V3-6, without criteria for LVH (Fig 2A). [escardio.org]

Observations that favor a viral etiology include a clinical presentation similar to that of chronic myocarditis, findings of myocarditis or myocardial fibrosis in affected patients, a higher incidence following epidemics of coxsackievirus B infection, [chdbabies.com]

The combination of myocyte injury and necrosis associated with myocardial fibrosis results in impaired mechanical function. [clevelandclinicmeded.com]

Hepatic necrosis was notable in 3 patients (patients 1, 3, and 21 in Table 2 ), while cerebral infarction (patient 7, Table 2 ) and renal infarction (patient 25, Table 2 ) occurred in 1 child each. [doi.org]

Additionally, there was a mixture of myocardial fibers with a marked "wavy" appearance and a scattering of mild interstitial lymphocytic infiltration. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
