Biventricular endomyocardial fibrosis with severe aortic stenosis: A rare combination

Abstract

Endomyocardial fibrosis is the most common form of restrictive cardiomyopathy worldwide. Primarily it is a disease of the young with apical fibrosis, endocardial thickening with involvement of the papillary muscles and atrio-ventriclar valves. Its association with valvular heart disease of other etiology is rather uncommon. We are reporting a case of 65year old lady with classical features of biventricular Endomyocardial fibrosis and valvular aortic stenosis.
