ABSTRACT

A endomiocardiofibrose é uma cardiopatia restritiva, pouco comum, com descrição recente. Foi descrita pela primeira vez em 1938, por Williams e estudada do ponto de vista anatomopatológico pelo patologista Davies, na África do Sul, recebendo o epônimo Doença de Davies em 1948. Considerando a história natural dessa doença, há maior incidência de diagnósticos nas terceiras e quartas décadas da vida, com média de 32 anos. Queremos chamar a atenção da comunidade científica, relatando o caso de uma senhora com diagnóstico inicial de endomiocardiofibrose aos 90 anos e indagar sobre a incidência e o subdiagnóstico dessa doença, bem como sua evolução


Endomyocardial fibrosis is a rare, recently-described, restrictive cardiopathy. It was first described in 1938 by Williams and studied from an anatomopathological perspective by pathologist Davies in South Africa, receiving the eponym Davies Disease in 1948. In terms of the natural history of this disease, there is a higher incidence of diagnoses in the third and fourth decades of life, at a mean age of 32 years. We want to raise the awareness of the scientific community by reporting the case of a woman who was first diagnosed with endomyocardial fibrosis at 90 years of age and pose questions about the incidence and subdiagnosis of this disease, as well as about its evolution
