Key result
ECG and VCG alone fail to differentiate endocardial fibroelastosis from anomalous left coronary artery origin.
Why the study?
Can electrocardiography or vectorcardiography differentiate endocardial fibroelastosis from anomalous origin of the left coronary artery?
Population
3 cases of endocardial fibroelastosis, including two in identical twins

ECG/VCG anterior infarction patterns warrant diagnostic caution; leaves open need for imaging validation in suspected cases.

Can electrocardiography or vectorcardiography differentiate endocardial fibroelastosis from anomalous origin of the left coronary artery?
Vectorcardiographic findings of anterior myocardial infarction are not pathognomonic for anomalous origin of the left coronary artery and can also be seen in endocardial fibroelastosis.
Lintermans et al. (1966) conducted a case report in Endocardial fibroelastosis (n=3). Electrocardiography and vectorcardiography was evaluated on Differentiation between endocardial fibroelastosis and anomalous origin of the left coronary artery. Electrocardiography and vectorcardiography alone cannot differentiate endocardial fibroelastosis from anomalous origin of the left coronary artery.
