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.

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 …

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.

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].

Endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) is a pathologic condition characterized by expansion of the endocardium by collagen and elastin (Figure 1). On gross examination, these changes appear as a pearly or opaque white inner lining of the heart, predominately in the ventricles [1, 2].

2024年12月1日 · We assessed the accuracy of early fetal echo (EFE) conducted in our high-volume fetal cardiac program and reviewed the spectrum of FCD, associated genetic anomalies, and outcomes encountered. We identified all EFEs performed from 10 +0 to 15 +6 weeks of gestation from 2009 to 2021.

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.

Neonatal lupus erythematosus is associated with the transplacental passage of maternal anti-Ro and anti-La antibodies, leading to complete atrioventricular block (CAVB). In some cases, CAVB is associated with EFE. Isolated EFE may be independently related to …

2023年1月23日 · Image quality (0-4) and detection of LGE in the left ventricle (LV) (per 17 segments), in the right ventricle (RV) (per 3 segments), as endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE), at the hinge points, and at the papillary muscles was analyzed by …

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.
