Abstract

Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is an idiopathic disorder of the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, considered endemic in tropical and subtropical Africa and is characterised by development of restrictive cardiomyopathy. Although accurate epidemiological data are lacking, EMF is estimated to be the most common form of restrictive cardiomyopathy globally. We report on a young patient presenting with a stroke diagnosed with EMF and review the role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance in evaluation of EMF.

心内膜心肌纤维化的心血管磁共振研究
心内膜肌纤维化(EMF)是世界热带和亚热带地区的一种特发性疾病,被认为是热带和亚热带非洲的地方性疾病,其特点是发展为限制性心肌病。虽然缺乏准确的流行病学数据,但据估计EMF是全球最常见的限制性心肌病。我们报告了一位年轻的中风患者,诊断为EMF,并回顾了心血管磁共振在评估EMF中的作用。
