2025年1月10日 · This study graded RV EFE in fetuses with CPS/PA-IVS, shedding light on its implications for circulatory outcomes. FCI offered benefits in Grade 2 RV EFE patients, suggesting its potential to preserve cardiac development in affected fetuses with CPS/PA-IVS.

2025年1月9日 · Results: Eighty-one patients with RV EFE were identified. By consensus, EFE severity was assessed as Grade 1 (n = 66, 81.5%) or Grade 2 (n = 15, 18.5%). At the first consultation, RV sphericity values were greater in Grade 2 EFE fetuses than in Grade 1 EFE fetuses, implying more severe noncompliance and worse diastolic function.

2023年8月8日 · RV sphericity values were greater in grade 2 and 3 EFE groups compared to the grade 1 EFE group, implying more severe noncompliance and worse diastolic function. 10/81(12.35%) fetuses underwent FCI. At the latest available follow-up, 59/81 (72.84%) patients had achieved biventricular circulation.

2016年7月29日 · Fetal endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) is a type of rare fetal cardiac malformation characterized by the diffuse thickness of the ventricular endocardium. The fundamental pathological changes of EFE include hyperplasia of endocardium elastic …

2011年4月12日 · The findings showed EFE absent from the right atrium in all four cases and present in the left atrium in two cases, the RV in one case, and the LV in all four cases. The EFE in the EFE + structural heart disease group was severe in one case and focal in …

2010年11月24日 · In addition, several studies have demonstrated that aortic stenosis with left-ventricular dysfunction presenting in fetal life may lead to hypoplastic left heart syndrome at birth, with varying degrees of chamber hypoplasia and endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) [6, 8, 10].

2002年1月22日 · The EFE predominately involved the RV in 3 of 4 (75%) cases and was diffuse in all cases. The mean LVED/RVED ratio was 1.0±0.1 17 ( Figure 2 ). Of the postnatally diagnosed cases, a total of 6 of 7 cases had echocardiograms available for review, with 5 having both a baseline and follow-up echocardiogram.

2023年8月8日 · Three reviewers independently graded EFE according to the presence and extent of endocardial echogenicity. The associations among EFE severity, anatomic variables, and postnatal outcomes were analyzed. Results: 81 cases with RV EFE were identified.

Endocardial Fibroelastosis (EFE) is a pathologic condition of abnormal deposition of collagen and elastin within the endocardium of the heart. It is seen in conjunction with a variety of diseases including hypoplastic left heart syndrome and viral endocarditis.

Purpose: Right ventricular (RV) function influences the outcome of hypoplastic left heart (HLH) patients. This study aimed to confirm the assumption of prenatal RV remodeling and possible influencing factors of myocardial restructuring using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D STE).
