RESUMO
Paciente M.B.L., feminina, 62 anos, portadora de insuficiência cardíaca prévia (etiologia indefinida), apresentou-se agudamente com dispneia aos esforços e déficit neurológico súbito. O ecocardiograma evidenciou insuficiência mitral moderada e obliteração infiltrativado ventrículo esquerdo. Realizou-se ventriculografia, confirmando aspecto sugestivo de endomiocardiofibrose. Optou-se por tratamento clínico (atual NYHA I), com boa resposta. Objetiva-se descrever caso clínico incomum e aspectos gerais desta entidade de acordo com as mais recentes atualizações.
ABSTRACT
Case study of a female patient, 62 years old, with prior heart failure (etiology not defined) presenting dyspnea acutely on exertion, and sudden neurological deficit. An echocardiogram showed moderate mitral failure and left ventricular infiltrative obliteration. Ventriculography confirmed an appearance suggestive of endomyocardial fibrosis. Medical treatment (current NYHA I) was selected, with good response. The intention is to present a clinical study of an unusual case with general aspects of this entity according to the latest updates.
