Endomyocardial fibrosis or Davies disease is a rare cause of restrictive cardiomyopathy. It is characterized by the deposit of fibrous material in the endocardium that leads to quickly progressive heart failure. It most frequently affects both ventricles, with isolated involvement of the right ventricle being the least common form. The clinical presentation of this entity is based on symptoms of right heart failure, although arrhythmias and conduction disorders may also be present. The treatment is determined by the management of congestion and surgical intervention in symptomatic patients. We present the first case of endomyocardial fibrosis isolated from the right ventricle in Colombia, we describe the clinical, etiological, imaging and management characteristics in order to deliver to the medical community an approximate understanding of this disease focusing on an unusual way of presentation.
心内膜心肌纤维化或戴维斯病是限制性心肌病的一种罕见病因。其特征是心内膜出现纤维物质沉积,导致心力衰竭快速进展。它最常累及双心室,孤立累及右心室是最不常见的形式。该疾病的临床表现基于右心衰竭症状,不过也可能出现心律失常和传导障碍。治疗取决于对充血的处理以及对有症状患者的手术干预。我们报告了哥伦比亚首例孤立性右心室心内膜心肌纤维化病例,描述了其临床、病因、影像学及治疗特点,以便让医学界对这种疾病以一种不寻常的呈现方式有大致了解。
