Endomyocardial Fibrosis -A case report-

심내막 심근섬유증

  • Published : 1999.03.01

Abstract

Endomyocardial fibrosis(EMF) is an unusual type of cardiomyopathy characterized by a restriction to the ventricular filling and an obliteration of the inflow portion in the ventricular cavity by a fibrosis and often by a thrombus formation. The atrioventricular valve may be involved, resulting in an atrioventricular valvular regurgitation. The only known effective treatments are endomyocardiectomy and replacement of regurgitant AV valves. We report the experience of a case of EMF which required surgical management.

심내막 심근섬유증은 비교적 드문 형태의 심근병증으로 섬유화와 혈전 등에 의해 심실충만의 제한과 심실강 유입부의 폐쇄를 가져온다. 병이 진행하면 심판막까지 침범해 방실판 역류를 일으킨다. 유일한 치료법은 심내막절제술과 판막대치술 등의 수술적 방법이다. 저자들은 수술적 치료를 시행했던 심내막 심근섬유증을 1례 치험하였다. 이에 관련된 문헌과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
