Key result
Adult diffuse endocardial fibroelastosis presents as chronic CHF with marked right atrial dilatation and contracted ventricles.
Why the study?
Diffuse endocardial fibroelastosis in adults with chronic congestive heart failure is rare and characterized by unique cardiac structural changes.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare adult presentation of diffuse endocardial fibroelastosis featuring marked right atrial dilatation and contracted ventricles.

Alerts clinicians to rare adult endocardial fibroelastosis with right atrial dilatation; leaves open natural history and management.
(1) An adult patient with diffuse endocardial fibroelastosis with chronic congestive heart failure is presented.(2) The characteristic finding in this case is the marked right atrial dilatation with the contracted ventricles. The ascites was observed to be the first sign of congestive heart failure, which dominated the clinical picutre.

Yoshida et al. (1964) conducted a case report in Diffuse endocardial fibroelastosis (n=1). Case observation was evaluated on Clinical and autopsy findings. An adult patient with diffuse endocardial fibroelastosis presented with chronic congestive heart failure characterized by marked right atrial dilatation and contracted ventricles.
