Key result
Pathological parietal endocardial thickening was observed in 74% of 117 unselected autopsied adult hearts, leading to a new morphological and pathogenetic classification.

This autopsy study provides a detailed morphological and causal-genetic classification of parietal endocardial thickening, demonstrating its high prevalence (74%) and correlation with various hemodynamic and metabolic disturbances.
Ryozo Okada (1961) conducted an observational in Unselected autopsied cases (n=117). Various hemodynamic and metabolic conditions vs. Normal endocardium was evaluated on Pathological parietal endocardial thickening. Pathological parietal endocardial thickening was observed in 74% of 117 unselected autopsied adult hearts, leading to a new morphological and pathogenetic classification.
