A new case of assumed parasitic cardiac disease is reported once more; a 67 year old woman with a trematode injection presenting with mitral incompetence and left ventricular failure. Biventricular endomyocardial fibrosis predominating at the apex was diagnosed at angiography and confirmed at surgery. Mitral incompetence was related to retraction of the papillary muscles which were surrounded by fibrosis, the rest of the mitral apparatus being normal. There was no indication for endocardectomy and so, mitral valve replacement alone was performed. There are few previous reports of parasitic cardiac disease: one case of left ventricular endomyocardial fibrosis, one case of biventricular fibroplastic parietal endocarditis and one case of cardiomyopathy. This report emphasises the need for cardiac examination in patients with parasitic diseases.
再次报告一例疑似寄生性心脏病的新病例；一名67岁女性，有吸虫感染，表现为二尖瓣关闭不全和左心室衰竭。血管造影诊断为以心尖为主的双心室心内膜纤维化，并在手术中得到证实。二尖瓣关闭不全与被纤维化包围的乳头肌回缩有关，二尖瓣装置的其余部分正常。没有进行心内膜切除术的指征，因此仅进行了二尖瓣置换术。以前关于寄生性心脏病的报道很少：一例左心室心内膜纤维化、一例双心室纤维增生性心内膜炎和一例心肌病。本报告强调了对寄生虫病患者进行心脏检查的必要性。
