We report a case of right ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis mimicking Ebstein anomaly in a 26-year-old male Turkish patient with Behçet's disease, who had heart failure symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The newborn weighed 3,400 g and had progressive respiratory distress right after birth. [scielo.br]

We report this rare case of mitral valve prolapse in EMF, in a geographical area where rheumatic heart disease is endemic, to showcase how a rare manifestation of EMF can be misdiagnosed as that of rheumatic heart disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In endemic areas of Africa endomyocardial fibrosis is as common a cause of heart failure as rheumatic heart disease, accounting for up to 20% of cases of heart failure and imposes a considerable burden to the communities and the health systems. [globalcardiologyscienceandpractice.com]

Not uncommonly EMF is detected incidentally in patients with rheumatic or other heart diseases. [18] The first case was initially managed as rheumatic heart disease before referral to the cardiology unit. [nigjcardiol.org]

Facial swelling (edema), swelling of the legs, enlargement of the spleen and liver (hepatosplenomegaly), and an accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity (ascites) are to be expected. [rarediseases.org]

Finally, on cardiac MRI subendocardial late gadolinium hyperenhancement was observed in the left ventricular apex ( Figure 1 D, arrow), reflecting myocardial fibrosis. The patient's clinical context supports the diagnosis of an initial stage of EF. [revportcardiol.org]
