Supports fetal developmental pathogenesis in EFE; hypothesis-generating and requires validation beyond case reports.
Case Report (n=13)
The study reports microscopic evidence of hyperplasia in endocardial fibroelastosis, suggesting a fetal developmental aberration as its pathogenesis.
Collier et al. (1951) conducted a case report in Endocardial fibroelastosis (n=13). Microscopic evaluation of two new cases of endocardial fibroelastosis demonstrated hyperplasia of fibrous and elastic tissue elements, consistent with 11 previously reviewed cases.
