Key result
An electrocardiographic 'infarct pattern' in children with endocardial fibroelastosis was present in all 4 patients who died, indicating it is a negative prognostic sign for survival.

ECG infarct pattern may signal mortality risk in pediatric endocardial fibroelastosis; hypothesis-generating and requires validation in larger cohorts.

Does an 'infarct pattern' on electrocardiogram predict death in children with endocardial fibroelastosis?
An 'infarct' pattern on the electrocardiogram in children with endocardial fibroelastosis is a strong negative prognostic sign associated with mortality.
Delores Danilowicz (1976) conducted a cohort in Endocardial fibroelastosis (n=9). Electrocardiographic 'infarct pattern' vs. Absence of 'infarct pattern' was evaluated on Death or survival. An electrocardiographic 'infarct pattern' in children with endocardial fibroelastosis was present in all 4 patients who died, indicating it is a negative prognostic sign for survival.
