Right ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis simulating Ebstein's anomaly

M Alipour, C Tarbiat, I Nazarian

    American Heart Journal
    |December 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Right ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis can mimic Ebstein's anomaly, posing diagnostic challenges. Definitive diagnosis was achieved during surgery, highlighting the importance of considering rare conditions in differential diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Ebstein's anomaly is a congenital heart defect characterized by displacement of the tricuspid valve.
    • Endomyocardial fibrosis is a form of restrictive cardiomyopathy.

    Observation:

    • A case is presented where right ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis closely resembled Ebstein's anomaly.
    • Clinical, radiological (chest x-ray), and electrophysiological (electrocardiogram, intracardiac electrogram) findings were consistent with Ebstein's anomaly.
    • Echocardiogram and angiogram also supported the initial suspicion of Ebstein's malformation.

    Findings:

    • The correct diagnosis of right ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis was established intraoperatively.
    • Diagnostic difficulties arise from overlapping clinical and imaging features between these two distinct cardiac conditions.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering endomyocardial fibrosis in the differential diagnosis of Ebstein's anomaly.
    • Accurate preoperative differentiation is crucial for appropriate patient management and surgical planning.
