Multimodality Imaging and Pathologic Assessment in an Adult with Endocardial Fibroelastosis
Key result
Transthoracic echocardiography and chest CT revealed diffuse coarse left ventricular endocardial calcifications in a patient with biopsy-proven adult endocardial fibroelastosis.

Implication
May aid recognition of rare adult endocardial fibroelastosis on echocardiography/CT; leaves open diagnostic utility beyond single cases.

Intervention
Multimodality imaging (transthoracic echocardiography and native CT of the chest) and pathologic assessment
O
Outcome
Identification of endocardial calcificationssurrogate
Multimodality imaging including echocardiography and CT can effectively identify diffuse endocardial calcifications in adult endocardial fibroelastosis.
