Universal mitral insufficiency in endocardial fibroelastosis supports routine valvular assessment; leaves open pathologic distinction of primary versus secondary forms.
Observational (n=47)
Endocardial fibroelastosis is consistently associated with mitral insufficiency, and primary and secondary forms cannot be distinguished pathologically, suggesting classification should be based on structural abnormalities.
Moller et al. (1964) conducted an observational in Endocardial fibroelastosis (n=47). Endocardial fibroelastosis was evaluated on Pathologic and clinical findings. In 47 cases of endocardial fibroelastosis, mitral valve insufficiency was universally present, and primary and secondary forms could not be distinguished by gross or microscopic methods.
