Abstract
Foetal Endocardial Fibroelastosis (EFE) is a rare cardiac disorder, characterised by echogenic thickening of the endocardium and decreased ventricular contractility, secondary to proliferation of elastic and collagen fibres. In this case report we present a case of endocardial fibroelastosis with review of literature regarding etiopathogenesis, classical features and prognosis.
