Why the study?

Acute heart failure without obvious triggers is rare in endocardial fibroelastosis, and before endomyocardial biopsy, diagnosis and treatment are frequently confounded with other primary cardiomyopathies.

Population

A 13-mo-old female child

Design

Case report

Follow-up

9-mo

Implication

Biopsy-confirmed EFE can cause unexplained AHF; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change cardiomyopathy evaluation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Pediatric patients with endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) presenting with acute heart failure or mimicking dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The text includes a 13-month-old female case (abstract) and a 7-month-old female case (full text).

Endocardial fibroelastosis is a rare but severe cause of pediatric heart failure that can mimic dilated cardiomyopathy and requires comprehensive histological and genetic evaluation for proper management.
